ViTMAE · Hugging Face

This model was published in HF papers on 2021-11-11 and contributed to Hugging Face Transformers on 2022-01-18.

ViTMAE

is a self-supervised vision model that is pretrained by masking large portions of an image (~75%). An encoder processes the visible image patches and a decoder reconstructs the missing pixels from the encoded patches and mask tokens. After pretraining, the encoder can be reused for downstream tasks like image classification or object detection — often outperforming models trained with supervised learning.

Click on the ViTMAE models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply ViTMAE to vision tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to reconstruct the missing pixels with the

ViTMAEForPreTraining

class.

AutoModel

import requests import torch from PIL import Image from transformers import ViTImageProcessor, ViTMAEForPreTraining url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg" image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw) processor = ViTImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/vit-mae-base") inputs = processor(image, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) inputs = {k: v.to(model.device) for k, v in inputs.items()} model = ViTMAEForPreTraining.from_pretrained("facebook/vit-mae-base", attn_implementation="sdpa", device_map="auto") with torch.no_grad(): outputs = model(**inputs) reconstruction = outputs.logitsNotes

ViTMAE is typically used in two stages. Self-supervised pretraining with

ViTMAEForPreTraining

, and then discarding the decoder and fine-tuning the encoder. After fine-tuning, the weights can be plugged into a model like

ViTForImageClassification

.

Use

ViTImageProcessor

for input preparation.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a ViTMAEModel. It is used to instantiate a Vit Mae 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

facebook/vit-mae-base

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 ViTMAEConfig, ViTMAEModel >>> >>> configuration = ViTMAEConfig() >>> >>> model = ViTMAEModel(configuration) >>> >>> configuration = model.configViTMAEModel

(config: ViTMAEConfig)

Parameters

config (

ViTMAEConfig

) — Configuration for the model.

The bare Vit Mae Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from

PreTrainedModel

. 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 PyTorch

torch.nn.Module

subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

pixel_values (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size), optional) — The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using

ViTImageProcessor

. See ViTImageProcessor.__call__() for details (processor_class uses

ViTImageProcessor

for processing images).

noise (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mainly used for testing purposes to control randomness and maintain the reproducibility

interpolate_pos_encoding (bool, optional, default False) — Whether to interpolate the pre-trained position encodings. This is mainly used to use the model on higher resolution images.

attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]: 1 for tokens that are not masked,
