I say **YES**! Due to the complexity of the problem, we will be using the most advanced computer vision architecture released in the [2020 Google paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.11929v2.pdf), the [**Vision Transformer**](https://paperswithcode.com/methods/category/vision-transformer). The difference between the **Vision Transformer** and the traditional **Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)** is how it treats an image. In **Vision Transformers**, we take the input as a patch of the original image, say 16 x 16, and feed in into the Transformer as a sequence with positional embeddings and self-attention, while in the **Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)**, we use the same patch of original image as an input, but use convolutions and pooling layers as inductive biases. What this means is that **Vision Transformer** can use it's judgement to attend any particular patch of the image in a *global* fashion using it's self-attention mechanism without having us to guide the neural network like a **CNN** with *local* centering/cropping/bounding box our images to help its convolutions. This allows the **Vision Transformer** architecture to be more flexible and scalable in nature, allowing us to create [foundation models](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2023/03/13/what-are-foundation-models) in computer vision, similar to the NLP foundational models like [BERT](https://paperswithcode.com/method/bert) and [GPT](https://paperswithcode.com/method/gpt), with pre-training self-supervised/supervised on massive amount of image data that would generalize to different computer vision tasks such as *image classification, recognition, segmentation, etc.* This cross-pollination helps us move closer towards the goal of Artificial General Intelligence. One thing about **Vision Transformers** are it has weaker inductive biases compared to **Convolutional Neural Networks** that enables it's scalability and flexibility. This feature/bug depending on who you ask will require most well-performing pre-trained models to require more data despite having less parameters compared to it's CNN counterparts. Luckily, in this model, we will use a **Vision Transformer** from [Google hosted at HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k) pre-trained on the [ImageNet-21k dataset](https://paperswithcode.com/paper/imagenet-21k-pretraining-for-the-masses) (14 million images, 21k classes) with 16x16 patches, 224x224 resolution to bypass that data limitation. We will be fine-tuning this model to our "small" dog breeds dataset of around 20 thousand images from the [Stanford Dogs dataset](http://vision.stanford.edu/aditya86/ImageNetDogs/) imported by Jessica Li into [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/jessicali9530/stanford-dogs-dataset) to classify dog images into 120 types of dog breeds! # Model Description This model is finetuned using the [Google Vision Transformer (vit-base-patch16-224-in21k)](https://huggingface.co/google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k) on the [Stanford Dogs dataset in Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/jessicali9530/stanford-dogs-dataset) to classify dog images into 120 types of dog breeds. # Intended Uses & Limitations You can use this finetuned model to classify images of dogs only and dog breeds that are in the dataset. # How to Use ```python from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoModelForImageClassification import PIL import requests url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/Beagle_600.jpg" image = PIL.Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw) image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("wesleyacheng/dog-breeds-multiclass-image-classification-with-vit") model = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained("wesleyacheng/dog-breeds-multiclass-image-classification-with-vit") inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt") outputs = model(**inputs) logits = outputs.logits # model predicts one of the 120 Stanford dog breeds classes predicted_class_idx = logits.argmax(-1).item() print("Predicted class:", model.config.id2label[predicted_class_idx]) ``` # Model Training Metrics | Epoch | Top-1 Accuracy | Top-3 Accuracy | Top-5 Accuracy | Macro F1 | |-------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------| | 1 | 79.8% | 95.1% | 97.5% | 77.2% | | 2 | 83.8% | 96.7% | 98.2% | 81.9% | | 3 | 84.8% | 96.7% | 98.3% | 83.4% | # Model Evaluation Metrics | Top-1 Accuracy | Top-3 Accuracy | Top-5 Accuracy | Macro F1 | |----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------| | 84.0% | 97.1% | 98.7% | 83.0% |
