Model Details

Model Description

This holds the weights for the PVeRA adapter, as well as the linear classification head, using the VTAB-1k (few-shot) version of the KITTI-Dist dataset. The adapters were introduced in a frozen DINOv2 (ViT-B) model. More information about the training procedure below. The model scored an accuracy of 0.8425 on the predefined test set. Please see the original GitHub repository for instructions on how to download the dataset (here), and for the dataset class implementation (here).

Important note: this does not exactly reproduce the results from the original PVeRA paper (different implementation, average across multiple seed, ...).

• Developed by: Leo Fillioux
• Finetuned from model: DINOv2-B

Recommendations

This adapter was trained for DINOv2-B. Performance using other base models will likely lead to a loss in performance.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForImageClassification

base = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained("facebook/dinov2-base", num_labels=4)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "leoflx/pvera_dinov2_b_kittidist")

Training Details

Training Data

The dataset used is the VTAB-1k (few-shot) variant of the KITTI-Dist dataset.

Training Procedure

Similarly to the original paper, a grid search was performed over 3 adapter learning rates (1e-3, 3e-3, 1e-2), with the final version corresponding to the model with the best validation accuracy. A fixed learning rate is used for the classifier head.

Preprocessing

The preprocessing steps are the following.

transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize([224, 224]),
                    transforms.ToTensor(),
                    transforms.Normalize((0.485, 0.456, 0.406), (0.229, 0.224, 0.225))])

Training Hyperparameters

Here is a summary of the training hyperparameters used.

• classifier learning rate: 1e-4
• adapter learning rate: 1e-2
• learning rate scheduler: cosine
• warmup ratio: 0.1
• max epochs: 500
• patience: 20
• optimizer: AdamW
• weight decay: 0.0001
