DermNet-Skin23 Classifier

Single-model demo of a 23-class clinical skin disease classifier built on EVA-02-L (~304M params, ViT-L/14) and fine-tuned on a consolidated DermNet + Skin40 dataset.

Numbers

Setup	Accuracy	Macro F1
This Space (single EVA-02-L)	81.48%	0.7969
Full 5-model ensemble (EVA-02 × ConvNeXt-V1-XL)	82.86%	0.8113

The full ensemble lives in the linked model repos and takes ~10x more compute — this Space runs the strongest single model, which is good enough for an interactive demo.

Dataset

23 broad dermatology categories merged from DermNet + Skin40 — 17,557 training images, 3,856 validation images. Three small-class stragglers (Stasis_Edema, Stasis_Ulcer, Ichthyosis at 60 images each) were merged into larger neighbors.

Training stack

• AMD Instinct MI300X (192 GB HBM3), ROCm 7.0, PyTorch with HIP
• Two-stage fine-tune: 30 epochs at peak LR + 15-epoch continuation at 0.1× LR with mixup off
• bf16 autocast, channels-last memory format, EMA + SWA, weighted-effective-number sampler
• HAM10000 domain pretraining as warm start
