Load Food-101 dataset
Start by loading a smaller subset of the Food-101 dataset from the 🤗 Datasets library. This will give you a chance to
experiment and make sure everything works before spending more time training on the full dataset.

from datasets import load_dataset
food = load_dataset("food101", split="train[:5000]")

Split the dataset's train split into a train and test set with the [~datasets.Dataset.train_test_split] method:

food = food.train_test_split(test_size=0.2)

Then take a look at an example:

food["train"][0]
{'image': ,
 'label': 79}

Each example in the dataset has two fields:

image: a PIL image of the food item
label: the label class of the food item

To make it easier for the model to get the label name from the label id, create a dictionary that maps the label name
to an integer and vice versa:

labels = food["train"].features["label"].names
label2id, id2label = dict(), dict()
for i, label in enumerate(labels):
     label2id[label] = str(i)
     id2label[str(i)] = label

Now you can convert the label id to a label name:

id2label[str(79)]
'prime_rib'

Preprocess
The next step is to load a ViT image processor to process the image into a tensor:

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor
checkpoint = "google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k"
image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(checkpoint)

Apply some image transformations to the images to make the model more robust against overfitting. Here you'll use torchvision's transforms module, but you can also use any image library you like.
Crop a random part of the image, resize it, and normalize it with the image mean and standard deviation:

from torchvision.transforms import RandomResizedCrop, Compose, Normalize, ToTensor
normalize = Normalize(mean=image_processor.image_mean, std=image_processor.image_std)
size = (
     image_processor.size["shortest_edge"]
     if "shortest_edge" in image_processor.size
     else (image_processor.size["height"], image_processor.size["width"])
 )
_transforms = Compose([RandomResizedCrop(size), ToTensor(), normalize])

Then create a preprocessing function to apply the transforms and return the pixel_values - the inputs to the model - of the image:

def transforms(examples):
     examples["pixel_values"] = [_transforms(img.convert("RGB")) for img in examples["image"]]
     del examples["image"]
     return examples

To apply the preprocessing function over the entire dataset, use 🤗 Datasets [~datasets.Dataset.with_transform] method. The transforms are applied on the fly when you load an element of the dataset:

food = food.with_transform(transforms)

Now create a batch of examples using [DefaultDataCollator]. Unlike other data collators in 🤗 Transformers, the DefaultDataCollator does not apply additional preprocessing such as padding.

from transformers import DefaultDataCollator
data_collator = DefaultDataCollator()

To avoid overfitting and to make the model more robust, add some data augmentation to the training part of the dataset.
Here we use Keras preprocessing layers to define the transformations for the training data (includes data augmentation),
and transformations for the validation data (only center cropping, resizing and normalizing). You can use tf.imageor
any other library you prefer.

from tensorflow import keras
from tensorflow.keras import layers
size = (image_processor.size["height"], image_processor.size["width"])
train_data_augmentation = keras.Sequential(
     [
         layers.RandomCrop(size[0], size[1]),
         layers.Rescaling(scale=1.0 / 127.5, offset=-1),
         layers.RandomFlip("horizontal"),
         layers.RandomRotation(factor=0.02),
         layers.RandomZoom(height_factor=0.2, width_factor=0.2),
     ],
     name="train_data_augmentation",
 )
val_data_augmentation = keras.Sequential(
     [
         layers.CenterCrop(size[0], size[1]),
         layers.Rescaling(scale=1.0 / 127.5, offset=-1),
     ],
     name="val_data_augmentation",
 )

Next, create functions to apply appropriate transformations to a batch of images, instead of one image at a time.

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from PIL import Image
def convert_to_tf_tensor(image: Image):
     np_image = np.array(image)
     tf_image = tf.convert_to_tensor(np_image)
     # expand_dims() is used to add a batch dimension since
     # the TF augmentation layers operates on batched inputs.
     return tf.expand_dims(tf_image, 0)
def preprocess_train(example_batch):
     """Apply train_transforms across a batch."""
     images = [
         train_data_augmentation(convert_to_tf_tensor(image.convert("RGB"))) for image in example_batch["image"]
     ]
     example_batch["pixel_values"] = [tf.transpose(tf.squeeze(image)) for image in images]
     return example_batch

 def preprocess_val(example_batch):
     """Apply val_transforms across a batch."""
     images = [
         val_data_augmentation(convert_to_tf_tensor(image.convert("RGB"))) for image in example_batch["image"]
     ]
     example_batch["pixel_values"] = [tf.transpose(tf.squeeze(image)) for image in images]
     return example_batch

Use 🤗 Datasets [~datasets.Dataset.set_transform] to apply the transformations on the fly:
py
food["train"].set_transform(preprocess_train)
food["test"].set_transform(preprocess_val)
As a final preprocessing step, create a batch of examples using DefaultDataCollator. Unlike other data collators in 🤗 Transformers, the
DefaultDataCollator does not apply additional preprocessing, such as padding.

from transformers import DefaultDataCollator
data_collator = DefaultDataCollator(return_tensors="tf")

Evaluate
Including a metric during training is often helpful for evaluating your model's performance. You can quickly load an
evaluation method with the 🤗 Evaluate library. For this task, load
the accuracy metric (see the 🤗 Evaluate quick tour to learn more about how to load and compute a metric):

import evaluate
accuracy = evaluate.load("accuracy")

Then create a function that passes your predictions and labels to [~evaluate.EvaluationModule.compute] to calculate the accuracy:

import numpy as np
def compute_metrics(eval_pred):
     predictions, labels = eval_pred
     predictions = np.argmax(predictions, axis=1)
     return accuracy.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels)

Your compute_metrics function is ready to go now, and you'll return to it when you set up your training.
Train

If you aren't familiar with finetuning a model with the [Trainer], take a look at the basic tutorial here!

You're ready to start training your model now! Load ViT with [AutoModelForImageClassification]. Specify the number of labels along with the number of expected labels, and the label mappings:

from transformers import AutoModelForImageClassification, TrainingArguments, Trainer
model = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained(
     checkpoint,
     num_labels=len(labels),
     id2label=id2label,
     label2id=label2id,
 )

At this point, only three steps remain:

Define your training hyperparameters in [TrainingArguments]. It is important you don't remove unused columns because that'll drop the image column. Without the image column, you can't create pixel_values. Set remove_unused_columns=False to prevent this behavior! The only other required parameter is output_dir which specifies where to save your model. You'll push this model to the Hub by setting push_to_hub=True (you need to be signed in to Hugging Face to upload your model). At the end of each epoch, the [Trainer] will evaluate the accuracy and save the training checkpoint.
Pass the training arguments to [Trainer] along with the model, dataset, tokenizer, data collator, and compute_metrics function.
Call [~Trainer.train] to finetune your model.

training_args = TrainingArguments(
     output_dir="my_awesome_food_model",
     remove_unused_columns=False,
     evaluation_strategy="epoch",
     save_strategy="epoch",
     learning_rate=5e-5,
     per_device_train_batch_size=16,
     gradient_accumulation_steps=4,
     per_device_eval_batch_size=16,
     num_train_epochs=3,
     warmup_ratio=0.1,
     logging_steps=10,
     load_best_model_at_end=True,
     metric_for_best_model="accuracy",
     push_to_hub=True,
 )
trainer = Trainer(
     model=model,
     args=training_args,
     data_collator=data_collator,
     train_dataset=food["train"],
     eval_dataset=food["test"],
     tokenizer=image_processor,
     compute_metrics=compute_metrics,
 )
trainer.train()

Once training is completed, share your model to the Hub with the [~transformers.Trainer.push_to_hub] method so everyone can use your model:

trainer.push_to_hub()

If you are unfamiliar with fine-tuning a model with Keras, check out the basic tutorial first!

To fine-tune a model in TensorFlow, follow these steps:
1. Define the training hyperparameters, and set up an optimizer and a learning rate schedule.
2. Instantiate a pre-trained model.
3. Convert a 🤗 Dataset to a tf.data.Dataset.
4. Compile your model.
5. Add callbacks and use the fit() method to run the training.
6. Upload your model to 🤗 Hub to share with the community.
Start by defining the hyperparameters, optimizer and learning rate schedule:

from transformers import create_optimizer
batch_size = 16
num_epochs = 5
num_train_steps = len(food["train"]) * num_epochs
learning_rate = 3e-5
weight_decay_rate = 0.01
optimizer, lr_schedule = create_optimizer(
     init_lr=learning_rate,
     num_train_steps=num_train_steps,
     weight_decay_rate=weight_decay_rate,
     num_warmup_steps=0,
 )

Then, load ViT with [TFAutoModelForImageClassification] along with the label mappings:

from transformers import TFAutoModelForImageClassification
model = TFAutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained(
     checkpoint,
     id2label=id2label,
     label2id=label2id,
 )

Convert your datasets to the tf.data.Dataset format using the [~datasets.Dataset.to_tf_dataset] and your data_collator:

converting our train dataset to tf.data.Dataset
tf_train_dataset = food["train"].to_tf_dataset(
     columns="pixel_values", label_cols="label", shuffle=True, batch_size=batch_size, collate_fn=data_collator
 )
converting our test dataset to tf.data.Dataset
tf_eval_dataset = food["test"].to_tf_dataset(
     columns="pixel_values", label_cols="label", shuffle=True, batch_size=batch_size, collate_fn=data_collator
 )

Configure the model for training with compile():

from tensorflow.keras.losses import SparseCategoricalCrossentropy
loss = tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True)
model.compile(optimizer=optimizer, loss=loss)

To compute the accuracy from the predictions and push your model to the 🤗 Hub, use Keras callbacks.
Pass your compute_metrics function to KerasMetricCallback,
and use the PushToHubCallback to upload the model:

from transformers.keras_callbacks import KerasMetricCallback, PushToHubCallback
metric_callback = KerasMetricCallback(metric_fn=compute_metrics, eval_dataset=tf_eval_dataset)
push_to_hub_callback = PushToHubCallback(
     output_dir="food_classifier",
     tokenizer=image_processor,
     save_strategy="no",
 )
callbacks = [metric_callback, push_to_hub_callback]

Finally, you are ready to train your model! Call fit() with your training and validation datasets, the number of epochs,
and your callbacks to fine-tune the model:

model.fit(tf_train_dataset, validation_data=tf_eval_dataset, epochs=num_epochs, callbacks=callbacks)
Epoch 1/5
250/250 [==============================] - 313s 1s/step - loss: 2.5623 - val_loss: 1.4161 - accuracy: 0.9290
Epoch 2/5
250/250 [==============================] - 265s 1s/step - loss: 0.9181 - val_loss: 0.6808 - accuracy: 0.9690
Epoch 3/5
250/250 [==============================] - 252s 1s/step - loss: 0.3910 - val_loss: 0.4303 - accuracy: 0.9820
Epoch 4/5
250/250 [==============================] - 251s 1s/step - loss: 0.2028 - val_loss: 0.3191 - accuracy: 0.9900
Epoch 5/5
250/250 [==============================] - 238s 949ms/step - loss: 0.1232 - val_loss: 0.3259 - accuracy: 0.9890

Congratulations! You have fine-tuned your model and shared it on the 🤗 Hub. You can now use it for inference!

For a more in-depth example of how to finetune a model for image classification, take a look at the corresponding PyTorch notebook.

Inference
Great, now that you've fine-tuned a model, you can use it for inference!
Load an image you'd like to run inference on:

ds = load_dataset("food101", split="validation[:10]")
image = ds["image"][0]

The simplest way to try out your finetuned model for inference is to use it in a [pipeline]. Instantiate a pipeline for image classification with your model, and pass your image to it:

from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("image-classification", model="my_awesome_food_model")
classifier(image)
[{'score': 0.31856709718704224, 'label': 'beignets'},
 {'score': 0.015232225880026817, 'label': 'bruschetta'},
 {'score': 0.01519392803311348, 'label': 'chicken_wings'},
 {'score': 0.013022331520915031, 'label': 'pork_chop'},
 {'score': 0.012728818692266941, 'label': 'prime_rib'}]

You can also manually replicate the results of the pipeline if you'd like:

Load an image processor to preprocess the image and return the input as PyTorch tensors:

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor
import torch
image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("my_awesome_food_model")
inputs = image_processor(image, return_tensors="pt")

Pass your inputs to the model and return the logits:

from transformers import AutoModelForImageClassification
model = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained("my_awesome_food_model")
with torch.no_grad():
     logits = model(**inputs).logits

Get the predicted label with the highest probability, and use the model's id2label mapping to convert it to a label:

predicted_label = logits.argmax(-1).item()
model.config.id2label[predicted_label]
'beignets'

Load an image processor to preprocess the image and return the input as TensorFlow tensors:

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor
image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("MariaK/food_classifier")
inputs = image_processor(image, return_tensors="tf")

Pass your inputs to the model and return the logits:

from transformers import TFAutoModelForImageClassification
model = TFAutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained("MariaK/food_classifier")
logits = model(**inputs).logits

Get the predicted label with the highest probability, and use the model's id2label mapping to convert it to a label:

predicted_class_id = int(tf.math.argmax(logits, axis=-1)[0])
model.config.id2label[predicted_class_id]
'beignets'
