Official PyTorch implementation of SimMIM, a simple framework for masked image modeling (self-supervised visual pre-training) from Microsoft Research. It provides pre-training and fine-tuning code plus pretrained checkpoints for Swin Transformer and ViT models on ImageNet-1K.

Use cases

• pretrain vision transformers with masked image modeling
• self-supervised pretraining on ImageNet
• fine-tune Swin Transformer for image classification
• reproduce SimMIM CVPR 2022 paper results
• pretrain large vision models with limited data
• compare masked image modeling approaches

When to choose

• you need self-supervised pretraining for Swin or ViT backbones
• you want to reproduce or build on the SimMIM paper
• you need pretrained checkpoints for image classification research

When to avoid

• you need general-purpose production computer vision tools
• you want actively developed features (code merged into Swin-Transformer repo)
• you need non-PyTorch or non-vision ML frameworks
