Vision Transformer (ViT)

Vision Transformer (ViT) is a transformer adapted for computer vision tasks. An image is split into smaller fixed-sized patches which are treated as a sequence of tokens, similar to words for NLP tasks. ViT requires less resources to pretrain compared to convolutional architectures and its performance on large datasets can be transferred to smaller downstream tasks.

You can find all the original ViT checkpoints under the Google organization.

Click on the ViT models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply ViT to different computer vision tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to classify an image with Pipeline or the AutoModel class.

Pipeline
AutoModel
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="image-classification",
    model="google/vit-base-patch16-224",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0
)
pipeline("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg")

Notes

  • The best results are obtained with supervised pretraining, and during fine-tuning, it may be better to use images with a resolution higher than 224x224.
  • Use ViTImageProcessorFast to resize (or rescale) and normalize images to the expected size.
  • The patch and image resolution are reflected in the checkpoint name. For example, google/vit-base-patch16-224, is the base-sized architecture with a patch resolution of 16x16 and fine-tuning resolution of 224x224.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a ViTModel. It is used to instantiate an ViT 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 ViT google/vit-base-patch16-224 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 ViTConfig, ViTModel

>>> # Initializing a ViT vit-base-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> configuration = ViTConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the vit-base-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> model = ViTModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

  • head_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,

  • pooler_output (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, hidden_size)) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) after further processing through the layers used for the auxiliary pretraining task. E.g. for BERT-family of models, this returns the classification token after processing through a linear layer and a tanh activation function. The linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

  • hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

    Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

The ViTModel forward method, overrides the __call__ 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.
