# YOLOv8s — SEC IPO Filing Image Classifier

A fine-tuned [YOLOv8s](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) model trained to classify images extracted from U.S. IPO registration statements (S-1 and F-1 filings) on [SEC EDGAR](https://www.sec.gov/edgar). This model serves as the initial detection stage in the pipeline used to construct the [gtfintechlab/ipo-images](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gtfintechlab/ipo-images) dataset.

## Classes

The model classifies images into 5 categories:

| Label | Description |
|---|---|
| `chart` | Bar charts, line charts, pie charts, org charts, flow charts, etc. |
| `logo` | Company logos and branding marks |
| `map` | Geographic maps |
| `infographic` | Composite visuals combining data, icons, and text |
| `other` | Decorative images, photographs, signatures, and other visuals |

## Usage

### Install dependencies
```bash
pip install ultralytics
```

### Run inference
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO

model = YOLO("<path/to/model.pt>")

# Single image
results = model("path/to/image.png")
print(results[0].probs.top1)        # top class index
print(results[0].names)             # class name mapping

# With a confidence threshold
results = model("path/to/image.png", conf=0.5)

# Batch inference
results = model(["image1.png", "image2.png", "image3.png"])
for r in results:
    print(r.probs.top1cls, r.names[r.probs.top1])
```

### Get the predicted label as a string
```python
result = model("image.png")[0]
label = result.names[result.probs.top1]
print(label)  # e.g. "chart"
```

## Relation to the IPO Image Dataset

This model is the **first stage** of the classification pipeline used to build the [`gtfintechlab/ipo-images`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gtfintechlab/ipo-images) dataset — a large-scale collection of 76,000+ labeled images from SEC IPO filings spanning 1994–2026.

The pipeline works as follows:

1. **This model** generates an initial prediction (`initial_yolo_prediction`) for each image
2. An **ensemble of 8 Vision-Language Models** verifies the prediction, producing a consensus score (`llm_yolo_verification_score`) and per-model votes (`llm_yolo_verification_votes`)
3. The final `label` in the dataset reflects this verified output
