NAT (base variant)

NAT-Base trained on ImageNet-1K at 224x224 resolution. It was introduced in the paper Neighborhood Attention Transformer by Hassani et al. and first released in this repository.

Model description

NAT is a hierarchical vision transformer based on Neighborhood Attention (NA). Neighborhood Attention is a restricted self attention pattern in which each token's receptive field is limited to its nearest neighboring pixels. NA is a sliding-window attention patterns, and as a result is highly flexible and maintains translational equivariance.

NA is implemented in PyTorch implementations through its extension, NATTEN.

Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for image classification. See the model hub to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.

Example

Here is how to use this model to classify an image from the COCO 2017 dataset into one of the 1,000 ImageNet classes:

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, NatForImageClassification
from PIL import Image
import requests

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

feature_extractor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("shi-labs/nat-base-in1k-224")
model = NatForImageClassification.from_pretrained("shi-labs/nat-base-in1k-224")

inputs = feature_extractor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
logits = outputs.logits
# model predicts one of the 1000 ImageNet classes
predicted_class_idx = logits.argmax(-1).item()
print("Predicted class:", model.config.id2label[predicted_class_idx])

For more examples, please refer to the documentation.

Requirements

Other than transformers, this model requires the NATTEN package.

If you're on Linux, you can refer to shi-labs.com/natten for instructions on installing with pre-compiled binaries (just select your torch build to get the correct wheel URL).

You can alternatively use pip install natten to compile on your device, which may take up to a few minutes. Mac users only have the latter option (no pre-compiled binaries).

Refer to NATTEN's GitHub for more information.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
