🍕 Hybrid Food Image Classifier (CNN + ViT)

This model combines ResNet50 (CNN) and DeiT-Base (ViT) with an adaptive fusion module for state-of-the-art food image classification.

Model Architecture

• CNN Branch: ResNet50 (pretrained on ImageNet)
• ViT Branch: DeiT-Base Distilled (pretrained)
• Fusion Module: Adaptive attention-based fusion with multi-head cross-attention
• Classes: 101 food categories from Food-101 dataset

Performance

• Validation Accuracy: ~82.5%
• Top-5 Accuracy: >95%
