Finetuning Vision Transformers (VIT) with Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2
With the increasing popularity of Vision Transformers (VIT), it has become important for developers to be able to finetune pre-trained VIT models for specific tasks. Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2 provide a powerful combination for achieving this.
Huggingface Transformers
Huggingface Transformers is a popular open-source library that provides a wide variety of pre-trained models for natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision tasks. It also offers tools and utilities for finetuning these models on custom datasets.
Tensorflow 2
Tensorflow 2 is a powerful deep learning framework that allows for easy construction and training of neural networks. It supports a wide range of models and provides tools for efficient data processing and model evaluation.
Finetuning Vision Transformers with Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2
Finetuning a pre-trained VIT model using Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2 can be broken down into several key steps:
- Load the pre-trained VIT model using Huggingface Transformers
- Prepare the custom dataset for training and evaluation
- Construct the finetuning pipeline using Tensorflow 2
- Train the model on the custom dataset
Example Code
Here’s an example of how one might finetune a pre-trained VIT model using Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2:
import tensorflow as tf from transformers import ViTFeatureExtractor, TFELECTRAForImageClassification from transformers import TFAutoModelForImageClassification # Load the pre-trained VIT model and feature extractor feature_extractor = ViTFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained('google/vit-base-patch16-224') model = TFELECTRAForImageClassification.from_pretrained('google/vit-base-patch16-224') # Prepare the custom dataset for training and evaluation # This involves data preprocessing, splitting into training and validation sets, etc. # Construct the finetuning pipeline using Tensorflow 2 optimizer = tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=1e-4) loss_fn = tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True) train_step = tf.Variable(0, trainable=False) schedule = tf.optimizers.schedules.PolynomialDecay( initial_learning_rate=1e-4, decay_steps=1000, end_learning_rate=1e-5 ) checkpoint = tf.train.Checkpoint( step=train_step, optimizer=optimizer, model=model ) # Train the model on the custom dataset for epoch in range(num_epochs): for images, labels in train_dataset: with tf.GradientTape() as tape: logits = model(images, training=True) loss = loss_fn(labels, logits) gradients = tape.gradient(loss, model.trainable_variables) optimizer.apply_gradients(zip(gradients, model.trainable_variables)) train_step.assign_add(1) if int(train_step) % 100 == 0: checkpoint.save(ckpt_prefix) # Evaluate the finetuned model on the validation set # This involves calculating metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall
Conclusion
Finetuning Vision Transformers with Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2 is a powerful and flexible approach for adapting pre-trained models to specific tasks. By leveraging the capabilities of both Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2, developers can achieve state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of computer vision tasks.

Hi,
Thanks for the access for the collab.
However , You send me an email with a list of links , but none of them is not this video : "Finetuning Vision Transformers (VIT) with Huggingface Transformers and Tensorflow 2"
Can you send a direct link ?
Eran
Can I get access to collab?
Can you add video on
1. how to read images from train, val and test folders which has say 5 classes folders in each of these. Say test folder has 5 subfolders class a through class e.
2a. Apply transformations like resize, add contrast, and rotate them randomly on all images in these folders.
2b. How to use augmentation to generate images from class which has less images or generate 1000 images for all class images in train folder to make a balanced dataset.
3. Train a model using vit on train and validation folder images.
4. How to fine tune model based, by adjusting pretrained weights, based on our new images.
5. Verify the model on the test dataset.
6. Also, if we have large images like size 600×600, how to adjust the default vit model to get better results.
Thanks in advance for these informative videos and explaining in detail.

May I have the access to the colab plz
May I please get access to the collab?
May I get the Access to the colab notebook please!
can you gime us access to the notebook please?
Do we have to apply Resize/Rescale operations to hold out test images for prediction?
