Comparison between transformers and convolutional models for fine-grained classification of insects

no code implementations20 Jul 2023 Rita Pucci, Vincent J. Kalkman, Dan Stowell

Although we observe high performances with all three families of models, our analysis shows that the hybrid model outperforms the fully convolutional-base and fully transformer-base models on accuracy performance and the fully transformer-base model outperforms the others on inference speed and, these prove the transformer to be robust to the shortage of samples and to be faster at inference time.
