• Research and educational purposes in medical AI

Note: This model is NOT intended for clinical diagnosis. Always consult qualified medical professionals.

How to Use

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, ViTForImageClassification
from PIL import Image
import torch

# Load model and processor
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("NotIshaan/vit-large-alzheimer-6layers-75M-final")
model = ViTForImageClassification.from_pretrained("NotIshaan/vit-large-alzheimer-6layers-75M-final")

# Load and preprocess image
image = Image.open("brain_mri.jpg")
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

# Make prediction
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    logits = outputs.logits
    predicted_class = logits.argmax(-1).item()
    confidence = torch.softmax(logits, dim=1)[0][predicted_class].item()

print(f"Predicted class: {model.config.id2label[predicted_class]}")
print(f"Confidence: {confidence:.2%}")

Label Mapping

{0: '0', 1: '1', 2: '2', 3: '3'}

Limitations

• Model trained on specific brain MRI dataset - may not generalize to all MRI protocols
• Class imbalance in training data may affect minority class performance
• Requires grayscale MRI images (converted to RGB internally)
• Input image size: 224x224 pixels
