# Model card for vit_little_patch16_reg1_gap_256.sbb_in12k

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-12k by Ross Wightman 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](./train_hparams.yaml) for specifics of each model.

## Model Usage
### Image Classification
```python
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_reg1_gap_256.sbb_in12k', 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
```python
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_reg1_gap_256.sbb_in12k',
    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
```python
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_reg1_gap_256.sbb_in12k',
    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, 257, 320) shaped tensor

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