Model Card for rdnet_t_ibot-bioscan5m

A RDNet tiny image encoder pre-trained using iBOT.

The model is primarily a feature extractor. Separately trained linear probing classification heads for various taxonomic levels (order, family, genus, species) are available for classification tasks.

Model Details

Model Type: Image classification and detection backbone
Model Stats:
- Params (M): 22.8
- Input image size: 224 x 224
Dataset: BIOSCAN-5M (pretrain split)
Papers:
- DenseNets Reloaded: Paradigm Shift Beyond ResNets and ViTs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.19588
- iBOT: Image BERT Pre-Training with Online Tokenizer: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.07832

Linear Probing Results

The following table shows the Top-1 Accuracy (%) achieved by training a linear classification head on top of the frozen rdnet_t_ibot-bioscan5m encoder. The linear probing was conducted using 289,203 samples for all taxonomic levels, and the model was evaluated on the validation (14,757 samples) and test (39,373 samples) splits of the BIOSCAN-5M dataset.

Taxonomic Level	Classes (N)	Val Top-1 Acc. (%)	Test Top-1 Acc. (%)
Order	42	99.36	99.01
Family	606	95.79	92.89
Genus	4930	88.09	78.51
Species	11846	79.74	65.26

Unsupervised Evaluation (Adjusted Mutual Information)

The quality of the image embeddings was also evaluated intrinsically using Adjusted Mutual Information (AMI) following the setup of Lowe et al., 2024a (An Empirical Study into Clustering of Unseen Datasets with Self-Supervised Encoders):

Extract embeddings from the pretrained encoder.
Reduce dimensionality to 50 with UMAP (McInnes et al., 2018).
Cluster reduced embeddings using Agglomerative Clustering (Ward's method).
Compare against ground-truth taxonomic labels using AMI (Vinh et al., 2010).

The AMI score reflects how well the learned representations align with ground-truth taxonomy in an unsupervised setting.

Taxonomic Level	AMI Score (%)
Genus	39.14
Species	26.91

Model Usage

Image Classification (with Linear Probing Head)

To use the model for classification, you must load the encoder and then load a specific pre-trained classification head for the desired taxonomic level. Heads are available for order, family, genus, and species.

python

import torch
import birder
from birder.inference.classification import infer_image

(net, model_info) = birder.load_pretrained_model("rdnet_t_ibot-bioscan5m", inference=True)

# Load a linear probing classification head (e.g., for 'family')
head_data = torch.load("models/rdnet_t_ibot-bioscan5m-family.head.pt")

# Reset the classifier layer and load the head weights
net.reset_classifier(len(head_data["class_to_idx"]))
net.classifier.load_state_dict(head_data["state"])

# Get the image size the model was trained on
size = birder.get_size_from_signature(model_info.signature)

# Create an inference transform
transform = birder.classification_transform(size, model_info.rgb_stats)

image = "path/to/image.jpeg"  # or a PIL image, must be loaded in RGB format
(out, _) = infer_image(net, image, transform)
# out is a NumPy array with shape of (1, N_CLASSES) for the chosen level, representing class probabilities.

Image Embeddings

python

import birder
from birder.inference.classification import infer_image

(net, model_info) = birder.load_pretrained_model("rdnet_t_ibot-bioscan5m", inference=True)

# Get the image size the model was trained on
size = birder.get_size_from_signature(model_info.signature)

# Create an inference transform
transform = birder.classification_transform(size, model_info.rgb_stats)

image = "path/to/image.jpeg"  # or a PIL image
(out, embedding) = infer_image(net, image, transform, return_embedding=True)
# embedding is a NumPy array with shape of (1, 1040)

Detection Feature Map

python

from PIL import Image
import birder

(net, model_info) = birder.load_pretrained_model("rdnet_t_ibot-bioscan5m", inference=True)

# Get the image size the model was trained on
size = birder.get_size_from_signature(model_info.signature)

# Create an inference transform
transform = birder.classification_transform(size, model_info.rgb_stats)

image = Image.open("path/to/image.jpeg")
features = net.detection_features(transform(image).unsqueeze(0))
# features is a dict (stage name -> torch.Tensor)
print([(k, v.size()) for k, v in features.items()])
# Output example:
# [('stage1', torch.Size([1, 256, 56, 56])),
#  ('stage2', torch.Size([1, 440, 28, 28])),
#  ('stage3', torch.Size([1, 744, 14, 14])),
#  ('stage4', torch.Size([1, 1040, 7, 7]))]
