An Image is Worth 16x16 Words: Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale

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.

RegionViT: Regional-to-Local Attention for Vision Transformers.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a new architecture that adopts the pyramid structure and employ a novel regional-to-local attention rather than global self-attention in vision transformers, where each regional token is associated with a set of local tokens based on the spatial location.
