Model card for eca_nfnet_l0.ra2_in1k#

A ECA-NFNet-Lite (Lightweight NFNet w/ ECA attention) image classification model. Trained in timm by Ross Wightman.

Normalization Free Networks are (pre-activation) ResNet-like models without any normalization layers. Instead of Batch Normalization or alternatives, they use Scaled Weight Standardization and specifically placed scalar gains in residual path and at non-linearities based on signal propagation analysis.

Lightweight NFNets are timm specific variants that reduce the SE and bottleneck ratio from 0.5 -> 0.25 (reducing widths) and use a smaller group size while maintaining the same depth. SiLU activations used instead of GELU.

This NFNet variant also uses ECA (Efficient Channel Attention) instead of SE (Squeeze-and-Excitation).

Model Details#

Model Usage#

Image Classification#
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))

model = timm.create_model('eca_nfnet_l0.ra2_in1k', pretrained=True)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # unsqueeze single image into batch of 1

top5_probabilities, top5_class_indices = torch.topk(output.softmax(dim=1) * 100, k=5)
Feature Map Extraction#
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))

model = timm.create_model(
    'eca_nfnet_l0.ra2_in1k',
    pretrained=True,
    features_only=True,
)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # unsqueeze single image into batch of 1

for o in output:
    # print shape of each feature map in output
    # e.g.:
    #  torch.Size([1, 64, 112, 112])
    #  torch.Size([1, 256, 56, 56])
    #  torch.Size([1, 512, 28, 28])
    #  torch.Size([1, 1536, 14, 14])
    #  torch.Size([1, 2304, 7, 7])

    print(o.shape)
Image Embeddings#
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))

model = timm.create_model(
    'eca_nfnet_l0.ra2_in1k',
    pretrained=True,
    num_classes=0,  # remove classifier nn.Linear
)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # output is (batch_size, num_features) shaped tensor

# or equivalently (without needing to set num_classes=0)

output = model.forward_features(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))
# output is unpooled, a (1, 2304, 7, 7) shaped tensor

output = model.forward_head(output, pre_logits=True)
# output is a (1, num_features) shaped tensor
