ConvNeXT

##
Overview

ConvNeXT モデルは、A ConvNet for the 2020s で Zhuang Liu、Hanzi Mao、Chao-Yuan Wu、Christoph Feichtenhofer、Trevor Darrell、Saining Xie によって提案されました。 ConvNeXT は、ビジョン トランスフォーマーの設計からインスピレーションを得た純粋な畳み込みモデル (ConvNet) であり、ビジョン トランスフォーマーよりも優れたパフォーマンスを発揮すると主張しています。

論文の要約は次のとおりです。

視覚認識の「狂騒の 20 年代」は、最先端の画像分類モデルとして ConvNet にすぐに取って代わられた Vision Transformers (ViT) の導入から始まりました。 一方、バニラ ViT は、オブジェクト検出やセマンティック セグメンテーションなどの一般的なコンピューター ビジョン タスクに適用すると困難に直面します。階層型トランスフォーマーです (Swin Transformers など) は、いくつかの ConvNet の以前の機能を再導入し、Transformers を汎用ビジョン バックボーンとして実用的に可能にし、幅広い環境で顕著なパフォーマンスを実証しました。 さまざまな視覚タスク。ただし、このようなハイブリッド アプローチの有効性は、依然として、固有の誘導性ではなく、トランスフォーマーの本質的な優位性によるところが大きいと考えられています。 畳み込みのバイアス。この作業では、設計空間を再検討し、純粋な ConvNet が達成できる限界をテストします。標準 ResNet を設計に向けて徐々に「最新化」します。 ビジョン Transformer の概要を確認し、途中でパフォーマンスの違いに寄与するいくつかの重要なコンポーネントを発見します。この調査の結果は、純粋な ConvNet モデルのファミリーです。 ConvNextと呼ばれます。 ConvNeXts は完全に標準の ConvNet モジュールから構築されており、精度と拡張性の点で Transformers と有利に競合し、87.8% の ImageNet トップ 1 精度を達成しています。 標準 ConvNet のシンプルさと効率を維持しながら、COCO 検出と ADE20K セグメンテーションでは Swin Transformers よりも優れたパフォーマンスを発揮します。

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a ConvNextModel. It is used to instantiate an ConvNeXT 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 ConvNeXT facebook/convnext-tiny-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 ConvNextConfig, ConvNextModel

    >>> # Initializing a ConvNext convnext-tiny-224 style configuration
    >>> configuration = ConvNextConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the convnext-tiny-224 style configuration
    >>> model = ConvNextModel(configuration)

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

    >>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, ConvNextModel
    >>> import torch
    >>> from datasets import load_dataset

TFConvNextModel

###
class transformers.TFConvNextModel

< source >

( config *inputs add_pooling_layer = True **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (ConvNextConfig) — 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.

The bare ConvNext model outputting raw features without any specific head on top. This model inherits from TFPreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a keras.Model subclass. Use it as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

TensorFlow models and layers in `transformers` accept two formats as input:

- having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
- having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional argument.

The reason the second format is supported is that Keras methods prefer this format when passing inputs to models and layers. Because of this support, when using methods like `model.fit()` things should “just work” for you - just pass your inputs and labels in any format that `model.fit()` supports! If, however, you want to use the second format outside of Keras methods like `fit()` and `predict()`, such as when creating your own layers or models with the Keras `Functional` API, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the first positional argument:

- a single Tensor with `pixel_values` only and nothing else: `model(pixel_values)`
- a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring: `model([pixel_values, attention_mask])` or `model([pixel_values, attention_mask, token_type_ids])`
- a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring: `model({"pixel_values": pixel_values, "token_type_ids": token_type_ids})`

Note that when creating models and layers with subclassing then you don’t need to worry about any of this, as you can just pass inputs like you would to any other Python function!

Parameters

- pixel_values (`np.ndarray`, `tf.Tensor`, `List[tf.Tensor]` ``Dict[str, tf.Tensor]` or `Dict[str, np.ndarray]` and each example must have the shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using AutoImageProcessor. See ConvNextImageProcessor.call() for details.
- output_hidden_states (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for more detail. This argument can be used only in eager mode, in graph mode the value in the config will be used instead.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple. This argument can be used in eager mode, in graph mode the value will always be set to True.

Returns

transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling or `tuple(tf.Tensor)`

A transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling or a tuple of `tf.Tensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (ConvNextConfig) and inputs.

- last_hidden_state (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

- pooler_output (`tf.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size)`) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) further processed by a Linear layer and a Tanh activation function. The Linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

  This output is usually not a good summary of the semantic content of the input, you’re often better with averaging or pooling the sequence of hidden-states for the whole input sequence.

- hidden_states (`tuple(tf.Tensor)`, optional, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `tf.Tensor` (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.

- attentions (`tuple(tf.Tensor)`, optional, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `tf.Tensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`.

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

The TFConvNextModel 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.

- hidden_states (`tuple(tf.Tensor)`, optional, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `tf.Tensor` (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.

- attentions (`tuple(tf.Tensor)`, optional, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) — Tuple of `tf.Tensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`.

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

The TFConvNextForImageClassification 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.

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, TFConvNextForImageClassification
    >>> import tensorflow as tf
    >>> from PIL import Image
    >>> import requests

    >>> url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
    >>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

    >>> image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/convnext-tiny-224")
    >>> model = TFConvNextForImageClassification.from_pretrained("facebook/convnext-tiny-224")

    >>> inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="tf")
    >>> outputs = model(**inputs)
    >>> logits = outputs.logits
    >>> # model predicts one of the 1000 ImageNet classes
    >>> predicted_class_idx = tf.math.argmax(logits, axis=-1)[0]
    >>> print("Predicted class:", model.config.id2label[int(predicted_class_idx)])
