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.

Effective Pancreatic Cancer Screening on Non-contrast CT Scans via Anatomy-Aware Transformers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the feasibility of using a single-phase non-contrast CT scan, a cheaper, simpler, and safer substituent, to detect resectable pancreatic mass and classify the detection as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or other abnormalities (nonPDAC) or normal pancreas.
