- Teacher labels: Claude API (knowledge distillation via annotatewithclaude.py)
- Hardware: NVIDIA RTX 5060 8GB VRAM
- Training time: ~47 minutes, 3 epochs
- Optimizer: adamwbnb8bit
Supported document types
ID cards and driving licences from: Australia, Canada, Germany, India, UK, USA
PII categories detected
names, faces, signatures, phones, emails, dob, id_numbers, addresses, org_names, dates
Usage
from transformers import Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
from peft import PeftModel
import torch
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct")
base_model = Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
"Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct",
load_in_4bit=True,
device_map="auto",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
base_model,
"bharath-0201/omni-shield-qwen2vl-pii-adapter"
)
model = model.merge_and_unload()
model.eval()Key finding: label consistency
Fine-tuning teaches the model to emit structured LABEL | VALUE pairs consistently. The base model detects values correctly but frequently omits field labels, causing downstream pipeline failures. Fine-tuning fixes this without degrading value detection accuracy.
Example (German ID card): | Field | Base model output | Fine-tuned output | |-----------|---------------------------|---------------------------| | Name | Name \| Leonie Dörr | Name \| Leonie Dörr | | DOB | Date of Birth \| 01.08.1991 | Date of Birth \| 01.08.1991 | | ID Number | [empty] \| M898585166 | ID No. \| M898585166 | | Signature | Signature \| [none] | Signature \| [none] |
