I-JEPA
I-JEPA
I-JEPA is a self-supervised learning method that learns semantic image representations by predicting parts of an image from other parts of the image. It compares the abstract representations of the image (rather than pixel level comparisons), which avoids the typical pitfalls of data augmentation bias and pixel-level details that don’t capture semantic meaning.
You can find the original I-JEPA checkpoints under the AI at Meta organization.
This model was contributed by jmtzt.

Click on the I-JEPA models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply I-JEPA to different image representation and classification tasks.
The example below demonstrates how to extract image features with Pipeline or the AutoModel class.
import torch
from transformers import pipeline
feature_extractor = pipeline(
task="image-feature-extraction",
model="facebook/ijepa_vith14_1k",
device=0,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
features = feature_extractor("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg", return_tensors=True)
print(f"Feature shape: {features.shape}")
Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the Quantization overview for more available quantization backends. The example below uses bitsandbytes to only quantize the weights to 4-bits.

from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoModel, AutoProcessor
from datasets import load_dataset
quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
load_in_4bit=True,
bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a IJepaModel. It is used to instantiate an IJEPA model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the I-JEPA facebook/ijepa_vith14_1k architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.
Example:
>>> from transformers import IJepaConfig, IJepaModel
>>> # Initializing a IJEPA ijepa-base-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> configuration = IJepaConfig()
>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the ijepa-base-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> model = IJepaModel(configuration)
>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

< source >( config: IJepaConfig add_pooling_layer: bool = False use_mask_token: bool = False )
Parameters
- config (IJepaConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

) — Whether to add a pooling layer - use_mask_token (
bool
, optional, defaults toFalse

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

special method.
Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.
IJepaForImageClassification
class transformers.IJepaForImageClassification
< source >( config: IJepaConfig )
Parameters
- config (IJepaConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.
IJepa Model transformer with an image classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the final hidden states) e.g. for ImageNet.
Note that it’s possible to fine-tune IJepa on higher resolution images than the ones it has been trained on, by
setting interpolate_pos_encoding
to True
in the forward of the model. This will interpolate the pre-trained
position embeddings to the higher resolution.
