ResNet50 outperforms Vision Transformer in efficiency for GI disease classification

A new benchmark study evaluated ResNet50 and Vision Transformer (ViT-B/16) for classifying gastrointestinal diseases from endoscopic images. While both models achieved high accuracy (around 92%) in cross-validation, ResNet50 demonstrated significantly better efficiency with fewer parameters, lower latency, and higher GPU throughput. An edge-oriented transformer, MobileViT-S, was more accurate on a test split but showed greater sensitivity to acquisition artifacts, indicating potential issues with shortcut learning. The research suggests that for resource-constrained environments, an efficient CNN like ResNet50 is a practical choice, though local validation is crucial before deployment. AI

IMPACT Highlights the trade-offs between model accuracy and efficiency, suggesting CNNs remain a viable option for resource-constrained AI applications.

    Accuracy Is Not Enough: An Efficiency- and Statistics-Aware Benchmark of ResNet50 and Vision Transformer for Explainable Multi-Class Gastrointestinal Diseases Classification

    arXiv:2610.33965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated classification of gastrointestinal (GI) findings in endoscopic images could support early diagnosis, but architectures are often chosen on accuracy alone. We present a controlled, reproducible benchmark of ResNet50 and ViT…
