TLDR
The Vision Transformer (ViT) as discussed by the authors uses a pure transformer applied directly to sequences of image patches to perform very well on image classification tasks, achieving state-of-the-art results on ImageNet, CIFAR-100, VTAB, etc.
Abstract
While the Transformer architecture has become the de-facto standard for natural language processing tasks, its applications to computer vision remain limited. In vision, attention is either applied in conjunction with convolutional networks, or used to replace certain components of convolutional networks while keeping their overall structure in place. We show that this reliance on CNNs is not necessary and a pure transformer applied directly to sequences of image patches can perform very well on image classification tasks. When pre-trained on large amounts of data and transferred to multiple mid-sized or small image recognition benchmarks (ImageNet, CIFAR-100, VTAB, etc.), Vision Transformer (ViT) attains excellent results compared to state-of-the-art convolutional networks while requiring substantially fewer computational resources to train.

Isolated Sign Language Recognition with Multi-Scale Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a solution for isolated sign language recognition (ISLR) using a skeleton graph that includes body and finger joints is presented, which makes use of the specific property of MS-G3D, which seems crucial to capture the internal relationship among semantically connected distant nodes in sign language dynamics.

Spatial-Temporal Transformer for Dynamic Scene Graph Generation

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a spatial-temporal transformer (STTran), which consists of two core modules: (1) a spatial encoder that takes an input frame to extract spatial context and reason about the visual relationships within a frame, and (2) a temporal decoder which takes the output of the spatial encoding as input in order to capture the temporal dependencies between frames and infer the dynamic relationships.

Domain Generalization in Vision: A Survey

TL;DR: Domain generalization (DG) as mentioned in this paper aims to achieve OOD generalization by using only source data for model learning, and has led to a broad spectrum of methodologies, e.g., those based on domain alignment, meta-learning, data augmentation or ensemble learning.

Beyond Self-attention: External Attention using Two Linear Layers for Visual Tasks

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors proposed an external attention mechanism based on two external, small, learnable, shared memories, which can be implemented easily by simply using two cascaded linear layers and two normalization layers; it conveniently replaces self-attention in existing popular architectures.

BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding

TL;DR: BERT as mentioned in this paper pre-trains deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers, which can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks.
