This model is a TensorFlow port of DINO [1] ViT B-16 [2]. The backbone of this model was pre-trained using the DINO pretext task. After that its head layer was trained
by keeping the backbone frozen. ImageNet-1k dataset was used for training purposes. You can refer to [this notebook](https://github.com/sayakpaul/probing-vits/blob/main/notebooks/load-dino-weights-vitb16.ipynb) to know how the porting was done.
