Which Cat? - Lucy vs Madelaine Classifier

A fine-tuned EfficientNet-B0 model that distinguishes between two cats: Lucy and Madelaine.

Model Details

• Base Model: EfficientNet-B0 (pretrained on ImageNet)
• Task: Binary image classification
• Classes: lucy, madelaine
• Training Data: ~190 personal photos
• Validation Accuracy: 90%

Usage

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torchvision import transforms, models
from PIL import Image
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# Download model
model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="khasinski/which-cat", filename="cat_classifier.pth")

# Load model
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
checkpoint = torch.load(model_path, map_location=device, weights_only=False)

model = models.efficientnet_b0(weights=None)
model.classifier = nn.Sequential(
    nn.Dropout(p=0.3),
    nn.Linear(1280, 2)
)
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])
model.to(device)
model.eval()

# Class mapping
idx_to_class = {v: k for k, v in checkpoint['class_to_idx'].items()}

# Predict
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])

image = Image.open("your_cat.jpg").convert('RGB')
tensor = transform(image).unsqueeze(0).to(device)

with torch.no_grad():
    probs = torch.softmax(model(tensor), dim=1)[0]
    pred_idx = probs.argmax().item()

print(f"Prediction: {idx_to_class[pred_idx]} ({probs[pred_idx]:.1%})")

Training

Trained using transfer learning with:

• Data augmentation (flips, rotations, color jitter)
• Weighted random sampling for class balance
• AdamW optimizer with learning rate scheduling
• 20 epochs on Apple MPS

Limitations

This model is trained specifically on Lucy and Madelaine. It will not generalize to other cats - it will simply classify any cat image as one of the two.
