# Big Transfer (BiT)
**Big Transfer (BiT)** is a type of pretraining recipe that pre-trains on a large supervised source dataset, and fine-tunes the weights on the target task. Models are trained on the JFT-300M dataset. The finetuned models contained in this collection are finetuned on ImageNet.
## How do I use this model on an image?
To load a pretrained model:
```python
import timm
model = timm.create_model('resnetv2_101x1_bitm', pretrained=True)
model.eval()
```
To load and preprocess the image:
```python
import urllib
from PIL import Image
from timm.data import resolve_data_config
from timm.data.transforms_factory import create_transform
config = resolve_data_config({}, model=model)
transform = create_transform(**config)
url, filename = ("https://github.com/pytorch/hub/raw/master/images/dog.jpg", "dog.jpg")
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)
img = Image.open(filename).convert('RGB')
tensor = transform(img).unsqueeze(0) # transform and add batch dimension
```
To get the model predictions:
```python
import torch
with torch.no_grad():
out = model(tensor)
probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(out[0], dim=0)
print(probabilities.shape)
# prints: torch.Size([1000])
```
To get the top-5 predictions class names:
```python
# Get imagenet class mappings
url, filename = ("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pytorch/hub/master/imagenet_classes.txt", "imagenet_classes.txt")
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)
with open("imagenet_classes.txt", "r") as f:
categories = [s.strip() for s in f.readlines()]
# Print top categories per image
top5_prob, top5_catid = torch.topk(probabilities, 5)
for i in range(top5_prob.size(0)):
print(categories[top5_catid[i]], top5_prob[i].item())
# prints class names and probabilities like:
# [('Samoyed', 0.6425196528434753), ('Pomeranian', 0.04062102362513542), ('keeshond', 0.03186424449086189), ('white wolf', 0.01739676296710968), ('Eskimo dog', 0.011717947199940681)]
```
Replace the model name with the variant you want to use, e.g. `resnetv2_101x1_bitm` . You can find the IDs in the model summaries at the top of this page.
To extract image features with this model, follow the [timm feature extraction examples ](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/feature_extraction/ ), just change the name of the model you want to use.
## How do I finetune this model?
You can finetune any of the pre-trained models just by changing the classifier (the last layer).
```python
model = timm.create_model('resnetv2_101x1_bitm', pretrained=True).reset_classifier(NUM_FINETUNE_CLASSES)
```
To finetune on your own dataset, you have to write a training loop or adapt [timm's training
script](https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models/blob/master/train.py) to use your dataset.
## How do I train this model?
You can follow the [timm recipe scripts ](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/scripts/ ) for training a new model afresh.
