Your Guide to Creating an Image Classifier with Visual Transformers

July 5, 2021

welcome to the world of AI, where you can create your own image classifier to distinguish between different objects, animals, or even your favorite snacks! Today, we will explore how to utilize the power of Visual Transformers for image classification using PyTorch and HuggingPics.

What is Image Classification?

Image classification is a process where a machine learning model is trained to recognize and categorize images into predefined labels. For instance, if you want to build a model that can differentiate between a chihuahua and cookies, you’re engaging in image classification.

Getting Started with Visual_transformer_chihuahua_cookies

The model we will be working with is called Visual_transformer_chihuahua_cookies. It has shown impressive results, achieving an accuracy of 0.9375 on our classification task. This means it successfully identifies the images almost 94% of the time!

Creating Your Own Image Classifier

To create your own image classifier, follow these steps:

Visit the demo on Google Colab.
Run the code to initialize the model.
Upload images you want to classify.
Observe the model’s predictions!

Example Images

Here are some example images the model can classify:

Chihuahua

Cookies

Corgi

Samoyed

Shiba Inu

Understanding the Model Performance

The performance of your classifier is measured using metrics such as accuracy. In this case, the accuracy of 0.9375 indicates that the classifier is almost flawless in distinguishing between chihuahuas and cookies.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while using the model, consider the following ideas:

Ensure that you are using images of good quality. Blurry or low-resolution images can lead to inaccurate predictions.
Have a diverse dataset. Train your model with a variety of images to improve its accuracy.
If the demo isn’t running as expected, try refreshing your browser or clearing the cache.
