Vision Transformer (ViT)

##
Overview

The Vision Transformer (ViT) model was proposed in An Image is Worth 16x16 Words: Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale by Alexey Dosovitskiy, Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, Dirk Weissenborn, Xiaohua Zhai, Thomas Unterthiner, Mostafa Dehghani, Matthias Minderer, Georg Heigold, Sylvain Gelly, Jakob Uszkoreit, Neil Houlsby. It’s the first paper that successfully trains a Transformer encoder on ImageNet, attaining very good results compared to familiar convolutional architectures.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

While the Transformer architecture has become the de-facto standard for natural language processing tasks, its applications to computer vision remain limited. In vision, attention is either applied in conjunction with convolutional networks, or used to replace certain components of convolutional networks while keeping their overall structure in place. We show that this reliance on CNNs is not necessary and a pure transformer applied directly to sequences of image patches can perform very well on image classification tasks. When pre-trained on large amounts of data and transferred to multiple mid-sized or small image recognition benchmarks (ImageNet, CIFAR-100, VTAB, etc.), Vision Transformer (ViT) attains excellent results compared to state-of-the-art convolutional networks while requiring substantially fewer computational resources to train.

ViT architecture. Taken from the original paper.

Following the original Vision Transformer, some follow-up works have been made:

- DeiT (Data-efficient Image Transformers) by Facebook AI. DeiT models are distilled vision transformers. The authors of DeiT also released more efficiently trained ViT models, which you can directly plug into ViTModel or ViTForImageClassification. There are 4 variants available (in 3 different sizes): facebook/deit-tiny-patch16-224, facebook/deit-small-patch16-224, facebook/deit-base-patch16-224 and facebook/deit-base-patch16-384. Note that one should use DeiTImageProcessor in order to prepare images for the model.

- BEiT (BERT pre-training of Image Transformers) by Microsoft Research. BEiT models outperform supervised pre-trained vision transformers using a self-supervised method inspired by BERT (masked image modeling) and based on a VQ-VAE.

- DINO (a method for self-supervised training of Vision Transformers) by Facebook AI. Vision Transformers trained using the DINO method show very interesting properties not seen with convolutional models. They are capable of segmenting objects, without having ever been trained to do so. DINO checkpoints can be found on the hub.

- MAE (Masked Autoencoders) by Facebook AI. By pre-training Vision Transformers to reconstruct pixel values for a high portion (75%) of masked patches (using an asymmetric encoder-decoder architecture), the authors show that this simple method outperforms supervised pre-training after fine-tuning.

This model was contributed by nielsr. The original code (written in JAX) can be found here.

Note that we converted the weights from Ross Wightman’s timm library, who already converted the weights from JAX to PyTorch. Credits go to him!

Usage tips

- To feed images to the Transformer encoder, each image is split into a sequence of fixed-size non-overlapping patches, which are then linearly embedded. A [CLS] token is added to serve as representation of an entire image, which can be used for classification. The authors also add absolute position embeddings, and feed the resulting sequence of vectors to a standard Transformer encoder.
- As the Vision Transformer expects each image to be of the same size (resolution), one can use ViTImageProcessor to resize (or rescale) and normalize images for the model.
- Both the patch resolution and image resolution used during pre-training or fine-tuning are reflected in the name of each checkpoint. For example, `google/vit-base-patch16-224` refers to a base-sized architecture with patch resolution of 16x16 and fine-tuning resolution of 224x224. All checkpoints can be found on the hub.
- The available checkpoints are either (1) pre-trained on ImageNet-21k (a collection of 14 million images and 21k classes) only, or (2) also fine-tuned on ImageNet (also referred to as ILSVRC 2012, a collection of 1.3 million images and 1,000 classes).
- The Vision Transformer was pre-trained using a resolution of 224x224. During fine-tuning, it is often beneficial to use a higher resolution than pre-training (Touvron et al., 2019), (Kolesnikov et al., 2020). In order to fine-tune at higher resolution, the authors perform 2D interpolation of the pre-trained position embeddings, according to their location in the original image.
- The best results are obtained with supervised pre-training, which is not the case in NLP. The authors also performed an experiment with a self-supervised pre-training objective, namely masked patched prediction (inspired by masked language modeling). With this approach, the smaller ViT-B/16 model achieves 79.9% accuracy on ImageNet, a significant improvement of 2% to training from scratch, but still 4% behind supervised pre-training.

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

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.

TFViTModel

###
class transformers.TFViTModel

< source >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (ViTConfig) — 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 ViT Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states 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 tf.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!

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

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 ViTImageProcessor.call() for details.
- head_mask (`np.ndarray` or `tf.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,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- output_attentions (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` 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.
- 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.
- interpolate_pos_encoding (`bool`, optional) — Whether to interpolate the pre-trained position encodings.
- 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.
- training (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False“) — Whether or not to use the model in training mode (some modules like dropout modules have different behaviors between training and evaluation).

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 (ViTConfig) 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)`.

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (ViTConfig) — 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.

ViT Model transformer with an image classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the final hidden state of the [CLS] token) e.g. for ImageNet.

Note that it’s possible to fine-tune ViT 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.

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.)
