This library implements GCViT using Tensorflow 2.0 specifically in tf.keras.Model manner to get PyTorch flavor.

• 15 Jan 2023 : GCViTLarge model added with ckpt.
• 3 Sept 2022 : Annotated kaggle-notebook based on this project won Kaggle ML Research Spotlight: August 2022.
• 19 Aug 2022 : This project got acknowledged by Official repo here

I have explained the GCViT paper in a Kaggle notebook GCViT: Global Context Vision Transformer, which also includes a detailed implementation of the model from scratch. The notebook provides a comprehensive explanation of each part of the model, with intuition.

Do check it out, especially if you are interested in learning more about GCViT or implementing it yourself. Note that this notebook has won the Kaggle ML Research Award 2022.

• Local Vs Global Attention:

Official codebase had some issue which has been fixed recently (12 August 2022). Here's the result of ported weights on ImageNetV2-Test data,

pip install -U gcvit
# or
# pip install -U git+https://github.com/awsaf49/gcvit-tf

Load model using following codes,

from gcvit import GCViTTiny
model = GCViTTiny(pretrain=True)

Any input size other than 224x224,

from gcvit import GCViTTiny
model = GCViTTiny(input_shape=(512,512,3), pretrain=True, resize_query=True)

Simple code to check model's prediction,

from skimage.data import chelsea
img = tf.keras.applications.imagenet_utils.preprocess_input(chelsea(), mode='torch') # Chelsea the cat
img = tf.image.resize(img, (224, 224))[None,] # resize & create batch
pred = model(img).numpy()
print(tf.keras.applications.imagenet_utils.decode_predictions(pred)[0])

Prediction:

[('n02124075', 'Egyptian_cat', 0.9194835),
('n02123045', 'tabby', 0.009686623), 
('n02123159', 'tiger_cat', 0.0061576385),
('n02127052', 'lynx', 0.0011503297), 
('n02883205', 'bow_tie', 0.00042479983)]

For feature extraction:

model = GCViTTiny(pretrain=True)  # when pretrain=True, num_classes must be 1000
model.reset_classifier(num_classes=0, head_act=None)
feature = model(img)
print(feature.shape)

Feature:

(None, 512)

For feature map:

model = GCViTTiny(pretrain=True)  # when pretrain=True, num_classes must be 1000
feature = model.forward_features(img)
print(feature.shape)

Feature map:

(None, 7, 7, 512)

These pre-trained models can also be loaded using Kaggle Models. Setting from_kaggle=True will enforce model to load weights from Kaggle Models without downloading, thus can be used without internet in Kaggle.

from gcvit import GCViTTiny
model = GCViTTiny(pretrain=True, from_kaggle=True)
