What is vit-large-patch16-224-in21k?
The vit-large-patch16-224-in21k is a large-scale Vision Transformer model developed by Google, designed for sophisticated image recognition tasks. Pre-trained on ImageNet-21k with 14 million images across 21,843 classes, this model represents images as sequences of 16x16 pixel patches and processes them using transformer architecture.
Implementation Details
The model employs a transformer encoder architecture that treats image patches as tokens, similar to words in NLP tasks. It processes images at 224x224 resolution, dividing them into fixed-size patches of 16x16 pixels. The model includes a special [CLS] token for classification tasks and uses absolute position embeddings.
