I selected Vision Transformers for leaf disease classification because they "revolutionize leaf disease classification", suggesting superior performance over traditional CNNs.

I am using the 'beans‑dataset' which contains labeled examples of Angular Bean Spot, Bean Rust, and Healthy leaves as a realistic testbed.

I chose accuracy as the primary evaluation metric for the model, aligning with typical classification objectives.

I reviewed Microsoft’s Swin Transformer as a breakthrough visual model that replaces flat tokenisation with hierarchical processing and shifted windows.

Swin uses **hierarchical processing** across stages to cut the **quadratic complexity** of ViT on high‑resolution images.

It introduces **shifted windows** to enrich feature perspectives beyond fixed‑size windows.

The architecture supports **flexible input padding** for varied image sizes.

These design choices make Swin scalable across tasks such as classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and masked‑image modeling.
