# ViT-Breast-Cancer

This model is a fine-tuned version of [google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k](https://huggingface.co/google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k) on a dataset of breast cancer microscope slides.

## Model description

This is a fine-tuned ViT (Google) that serves more as an exploration of vision transformers in medicine for my learning than as anything specific. I fine-tuned this model on a dataset of ~7000 images of breast cancer slides labelled as 'benign' or 'cancerous'.
I used the Transformers library and the out-of-the-box ViTForImageClassification configuration. 
Despite this being an incredibly barebones fine-tune, I hope you fine it useful! Any recommendations are welcome!

## Intended uses & limitations

This is a super basic fine tuned model. Please evaluate its performance for yourself do determine whether it can be useful for you. In a big picture sense, this model can tell apart benign and cancerous breast tissue samples.
