Leveraging Model Soups to Classify Intangible Cultural Heritage Images from the Mekong Delta

Researchers developed a new AI framework combining CoAtNet architecture with model soups technique to classify Intangible Cultural Heritage images from the Mekong Delta. The approach achieved 72.36% accuracy on the ICH-17 dataset, outperforming traditional models like ResNet-50 and ViT by reducing variance and improving generalization in low-resource settings.
