About
This model is a base VisionEncoderDecoderModel fine-tuned on a dataset for generating LaTeX formulas from images.
The data is taken from OleehyO/latex-formulas. The data was divided into 80:10:10 for train, val and test. The splits were made as follows:
dataset = load_dataset(OleehyO/latex-formulas, cleaned_formulas)
train_val_split = dataset["train"].train_test_split(test_size=0.2, seed=42)
train_ds = train_val_split["train"]
val_test_split = train_val_split["test"].train_test_split(test_size=0.5, seed=42)
val_ds = val_test_split["train"]
test_ds = val_test_split["test"]
The model was evaluated on a test set with the following results:
You can use the model directly with the transformers library:
from transformers import VisionEncoderDecoderModel, AutoTokenizer, AutoFeatureExtractor
import torch
from PIL import Image
# load model, tokenizer, and feature extractor
model = VisionEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("DGurgurov/im2latex")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("DGurgurov/im2latex")
feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("microsoft/swin-base-patch4-window7-224-in22k") # using the original feature extractor for now
# prepare an image
image = Image.open("path/to/your/image.png")
pixel_values = feature_extractor(images=image, return_tensors="pt").pixel_values
# generate LaTeX formula
generated_ids = model.generate(pixel_values)
generated_texts = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print("Generated LaTeX formula:", generated_texts[0])

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys im2latex for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (im2latex below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
