...It builds on the DINO idea of student–teacher distillation and adapts it to modern Vision Transformer backbones with a carefully tuned recipe for data augmentation, optimization, and multi-crop training. The core promise is that a single pretrained backbone can transfer well to many downstream tasks—from linear probing on classification to retrieval, detection, and segmentation—often requiring little or no fine-tuning. The repository includes code for training, evaluating, and feature extraction, with utilities to run k-NN or linear evaluation baselines to assess representation quality. ...
