# ConvNeXTV2

## ConvNeXt V2

### Overview

The ConvNeXt V2 model was proposed in [ConvNeXt V2: Co-designing and Scaling ConvNets with Masked Autoencoders](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.00808) by Sanghyun Woo, Shoubhik Debnath, Ronghang Hu, Xinlei Chen, Zhuang Liu, In So Kweon, Saining Xie. ConvNeXt V2 is a pure convolutional model (ConvNet), inspired by the design of Vision Transformers, and a successor of [ConvNeXT](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/convnext).

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Driven by improved architectures and better representation learning frameworks, the field of visual recognition has enjoyed rapid modernization and performance boost in the early 2020s. For example, modern ConvNets, represented by ConvNeXt, have demonstrated strong performance in various scenarios. While these models were originally designed for supervised learning with ImageNet labels, they can also potentially benefit from self-supervised learning techniques such as masked autoencoders (MAE). However, we found that simply combining these two approaches leads to subpar performance. In this paper, we propose a fully convolutional masked autoencoder framework and a new Global Response Normalization (GRN) layer that can be added to the ConvNeXt architecture to enhance inter-channel feature competition. This co-design of self-supervised learning techniques and architectural improvement results in a new model family called ConvNeXt V2, which significantly improves the performance of pure ConvNets on various recognition benchmarks, including ImageNet classification, COCO detection, and ADE20K segmentation. We also provide pre-trained ConvNeXt V2 models of various sizes, ranging from an efficient 3.7M-parameter Atto model with 76.7% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet, to a 650M Huge model that achieves a state-of-the-art 88.9% accuracy using only public training data.*

Tips:

* See the code examples below each model regarding usage.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [ConvNextV2Model](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/convnextv2#transformers.ConvNextV2Model). It is used to instantiate an ConvNeXTV2 model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the ConvNeXTV2 [facebook/convnextv2-tiny-1k-224](https://huggingface.co/facebook/convnextv2-tiny-1k-224) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import ConvNeXTV2Config, ConvNextV2Model

>>> # Initializing a ConvNeXTV2 convnextv2-tiny-1k-224 style configuration
>>> configuration = ConvNeXTV2Config()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the convnextv2-tiny-1k-224 style configuration
>>> model = ConvNextV2Model(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config
```

### ConvNextV2Model

#### class transformers.ConvNextV2Model

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.34.1/src/transformers/models/convnextv2/modeling_convnextv2.py#L354)

( config )

Parameters

* **config** ([ConvNextV2Config](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/convnextv2#transformers.ConvNextV2Config)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

The bare ConvNextV2 model outputting raw features without any specific head on top. This model is a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

**forward**

( pixel\_values: FloatTensor = Noneoutput\_hidden\_states: typing.Optional\[bool] = Nonereturn\_dict: typing.Optional\[bool] = None ) → `transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPoolingAndNoAttention` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

Parameters

* **pixel\_values** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using [ConvNextImageProcessor](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/convnext#transformers.ConvNextImageProcessor). See [ConvNextImageProcessor.**call**()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/deit#transformers.DeiTFeatureExtractor.__call__) for details.
* **output\_hidden\_states** (`bool`, *optional*) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for more detail.
* **return\_dict** (`bool`, *optional*) — Whether or not to return a [ModelOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/output#transformers.utils.ModelOutput) instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

`transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPoolingAndNoAttention` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A `transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPoolingAndNoAttention` or a tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration ([ConvNextV2Config](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/convnextv2#transformers.ConvNextV2Config)) and inputs.

* **last\_hidden\_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.
* **pooler\_output** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size)`) — Last layer hidden-state after a pooling operation on the spatial dimensions.
* **hidden\_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

The [ConvNextV2Model](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/convnextv2#transformers.ConvNextV2Model) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module` instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, ConvNextV2Model
>>> import torch
>>> from datasets import load_dataset

>>> dataset = load_dataset("huggingface/cats-image")
>>> image = dataset["test"]["image"][0]

>>> image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/convnextv2-tiny-1k-224")
>>> model = ConvNextV2Model.from_pretrained("facebook/convnextv2-tiny-1k-224")

>>> inputs = image_processor(image, return_tensors="pt")

>>> with torch.no_grad():
...     outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
>>> list(last_hidden_states.shape)
[1, 768, 7, 7]
```
