Model card for vit_little_patch16_reg4_gap_256.sbb_in1k

A Vision Transformer (ViT) image classification model. This is a timm specific variation of the architecture with registers, global average pooling.

There are a number of models in the lower end of model scales that originate in timm:

variant	width	mlp width (mult)	heads	depth	timm orig
tiny	192	768 (4)	3	12	n
wee	256	1280 (5)	4	14	y
pwee	256	1280 (5)	4	16 (parallel)	y
small	384	1536 (4)	6	12	n
little	320	1792 (5.6)	5	14	y
medium	512	2048 (4)	8	12	y
mediumd	512	2048 (4)	8	20	y
betwixt	640	2560 (4)	10	12	y
base	768	3072 (4)	12	12	n

Trained on ImageNet-1k in timm using recipe template described below.

Recipe details:

• Searching for better baselines. Influced by Swin/DeiT/DeiT-III but w/ increased weight decay, moderate (in12k) to high (in1k) augmentation. Layer-decay used for fine-tune. Some runs used BCE and/or NAdamW instead of AdamW.
• See train_hparams.yaml for specifics of each model.

Model Usage

Image Classification

from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))

model = timm.create_model('vit_little_patch16_reg4_gap_256.sbb_in1k', pretrained=True)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # unsqueeze single image into batch of 1

top5_probabilities, top5_class_indices = torch.topk(output.softmax(dim=1) * 100, k=5)

Feature Map Extraction

from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))

model = timm.create_model(
    'vit_little_patch16_reg4_gap_256.sbb_in1k',
    pretrained=True,
    features_only=True,
)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # unsqueeze single image into batch of 1

for o in output:
    # print shape of each feature map in output
    # e.g.:
    #  torch.Size([1, 320, 16, 16])
    #  torch.Size([1, 320, 16, 16])
    #  torch.Size([1, 320, 16, 16])

    print(o.shape)

Image Embeddings

from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))

model = timm.create_model(
    'vit_little_patch16_reg4_gap_256.sbb_in1k',
    pretrained=True,
    num_classes=0,  # remove classifier nn.Linear
)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # output is (batch_size, num_features) shaped tensor

# or equivalently (without needing to set num_classes=0)

output = model.forward_features(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))
# output is unpooled, a (1, 260, 320) shaped tensor

output = model.forward_head(output, pre_logits=True)
# output is a (1, num_features) shaped tensor
