Quick Start

Loading the Pre-trained Model

import torch
import timm
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# Download model from Hugging Face
model_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="ayanahmedkhan/deit3-gi-endoscopy-classifier",
    filename="deit3_best_traced.pt"
)

# Load model
device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
model = timm.create_model('deit3_small_patch16_384', pretrained=False, num_classes=23)
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(model_path, map_location=device))
model = model.to(device)
model.eval()

Inference on Single Image

from PIL import Image
import albumentations as A
from albumentations.pytorch import ToTensorV2
import numpy as np

# Load and preprocess image
def preprocess_image(image_path):
    image = np.array(Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB'))
    
    transform = A.Compose([
        A.Resize(384, 384),
        A.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
        ToTensorV2()
    ])
    
    return transform(image=image)['image'].unsqueeze(0)

# Make prediction
with torch.no_grad():
    image_tensor = preprocess_image("path/to/image.jpg").to(device)
    logits = model(image_tensor)
    probabilities = torch.softmax(logits, dim=1)
    predicted_class = torch.argmax(probabilities, dim=1)
    confidence = probabilities[0, predicted_class].item()

print(f"Predicted Class: {predicted_class.item()}")
print(f"Confidence: {confidence:.2%}")

Test-Time Augmentation (TTA)

def predict_with_tta(model, image_tensor, device):
    """Enhanced inference with test-time augmentation"""
    model.eval()
    with torch.no_grad():
        # Original
        pred1 = torch.softmax(model(image_tensor.to(device)), dim=1)
        
        # Horizontal flip
        pred2 = torch.softmax(model(torch.flip(image_tensor, [3]).to(device)), dim=1)
        
        # Vertical flip
        pred3 = torch.softmax(model(torch.flip(image_tensor, [2]).to(device)), dim=1)
        
        # Average predictions
        avg_pred = (pred1 + pred2 + pred3) / 3.0
    
    return avg_pred

# Use TTA for better predictions
image_tensor = preprocess_image("path/to/image.jpg")
tta_probs = predict_with_tta(model, image_tensor, device)
predicted_class = torch.argmax(tta_probs, dim=1)
confidence = tta_probs[0, predicted_class].item()

Carbon Footprint

Training: ~5.6 kWh (estimated, 90 min on NVIDIA A100)
Inference: ~50ms per image (A100), ~500ms (CPU)

Limitations & Future Work

Known Limitations

Trained on specific endoscopy dataset; may not generalize to all GI imaging modalities
Performance may vary with different lighting conditions and image quality
Requires high-resolution (384×384) input images

Future Improvements

Support for multiple input resolutions
Ensemble with other ViT models (ViT-Base, Swin Transformer)
Fine-tuning guides for custom datasets
Model quantization for faster inference
ONNX export for cross-platform deployment
Attention visualization tools
Uncertainty estimation capabilities

Troubleshooting

CUDA Out of Memory

# Reduce batch size or image resolution
trainer = AdvancedMemoryEfficientTrainer(
    model_name='deit3_small_patch16_384',
    image_size=256,  # Reduce from 384
    num_classes=23
)

Low Accuracy on Custom Data

Ensure image resolution is 384×384
Use the same normalization (ImageNet stats)
Apply TTA for better predictions
Fine-tune on your specific data
