MLP Mixer - Pytorch

An All-MLP solution for Vision, from Google AI, in Pytorch.

No convolutions nor attention needed!

Yannic Kilcher video

Install

$ pip install mlp-mixer-pytorch

Usage

import torch
from mlp_mixer_pytorch import MLPMixer

model = MLPMixer(
    image_size = 256,
    channels = 3,
    patch_size = 16,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12,
    num_classes = 1000
)

img = torch.randn(1, 3, 256, 256)
pred = model(img) # (1, 1000)

Rectangular image

import torch
from mlp_mixer_pytorch import MLPMixer

model = MLPMixer(
    image_size = (256, 128),
    channels = 3,
    patch_size = 16,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12,
    num_classes = 1000
)

img = torch.randn(1, 3, 256, 128)
pred = model(img) # (1, 1000)

Video

import torch
from mlp_mixer_pytorch import MLPMixer3D

model = MLPMixer3D(
    image_size = (256, 128),
    time_size = 4,
    time_patch_size = 2,
    channels = 3,
    patch_size = 16,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12,
    num_classes = 1000
)

video = torch.randn(1, 3, 4, 256, 128)
pred = model(video) # (1, 1000)
