How to Fine-Tune an Image Classification Model with Ease

Jul 17, 2021 | Educational

Are you ready to take your first steps into the world of image classification with our test model? In this post, we’ll guide you through the complete process of fine-tuning a model using the lysandretiny-vit-random architecture and an image folder dataset. Don your data scientist hat and let’s dive in!

Understanding the Model

The test_model_a is a fine-tuned version of the lysandretiny-vit-random model, tailored specifically for image classification tasks. Imagine it as a student who has just taken a specialized course to better understand a subject (in this case, images) after already having a foundational knowledge (the pre-trained weights from the original model).

Model Specifications

The model is built to classify images stored in a designated folder using state-of-the-art techniques. Below are some critical aspects of our model that you’ll want to keep in mind as we proceed:

  • Training Hyperparameters
  • Training Procedure
  • Framework Dependencies

Training Hyperparameters

Understanding and selecting the right hyperparameters for training is crucial for achieving the best performance of your model. Here are the hyperparameters used for training test_model_a:

  • Learning Rate: 5e-05
  • Training Batch Size: 8
  • Evaluation Batch Size: 8
  • Seed: 42
  • Optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9, 0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
  • Learning Rate Scheduler Type: Linear
  • Training Steps: 40

Framework Versions

To ensure smooth operation, you’ll need to have the following versions of libraries installed:

  • Transformers: 4.8.2
  • Pytorch: 1.9.0+cu102
  • Datasets: 1.9.1.dev0
  • Tokenizers: 0.10.3

Common Troubleshooting Tips

As you embark on this journey, you might encounter some hiccups along the way. Here are a few troubleshooting ideas to help you navigate through:

  • Issue: Model doesn’t train or shows error – Double-check the dataset folder paths and ensure images are in the correct format.
  • Issue: Performance is subpar – Try adjusting the learning rate and training duration.
  • Issue: Unexpected results on evaluation – Inspect the evaluation dataset for any inconsistencies or errors in labeling.
