+# Swin Transformer on CIFAR-10
+
+This project demonstrates a minimal implementation of a **Swin Transformer** for image classification on the **CIFAR-10** dataset using PyTorch.
+
+It includes:
+- Patch embedding and window-based self-attention
+- Shifted windows for hierarchical representation
+- Training and testing logic using standard PyTorch utilities
+
+---
+
+## Files
+
+- `swin_transformer.py` — Full implementation of the Swin Transformer model, training loop, and evaluation on CIFAR-10.
+- `README.md` — This file.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- PyTorch 2.6 or later
+- `torchvision` (for CIFAR-10 dataset)
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### Train & Save the model
+
+```bash
+python swin_transformer.py --epochs 10 --batch-size 64 --lr 0.001 --save-model
+```
+
+### Test the model
+
+Testing is done automatically after each epoch. To only test, run with:
+
+```bash
+python swin_transformer.py --epochs 1
+``
+
+The model will be saved as `swin_cifar10.pt`.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- Uses shifted window attention for local self-attention.
+- Patch-based embedding with a lightweight network.
+- Trains on CIFAR-10 with `Adam` optimizer and learning rate scheduling.
+- Prints loss and accuracy per epoch.
+
