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.

GraphiT: Encoding Graph Structure in Transformers

TL;DR: GraphiT as discussed by the authors uses relative positional encoding strategies in self-attention scores based on positive definite kernels on graphs and enumerating and encoding local sub-structures such as paths of short length.

MASS: Multi-Attentional Semantic Segmentation of LiDAR Data for Dense Top-View Understanding.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-attentional semantic segmentation model for dense top-view understanding of the driving scenes is proposed, which operates on pillar and occupancy features and comprises three attention-based building blocks: (1) a keypoint-driven graph attention, (2) an LSTM-based attention computed from a vector embedding of the spatial input, and (3) a pillar-based Attention, resulting in a dense 360-degree segmentation mask.

Transferability Metrics for Selecting Source Model Ensembles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose several transferability metrics designed for this task and evaluate them in a challenging and realistic transfer learning setup for semantic segmentation, and compare the ensemble selected by their method to two baselines which select a single source model, either (1) from the same pool as their method; or (2) from a pool containing large source models, each with similar capacity as an ensemble.

Transformer-Based Source-Free Domain Adaptation

TL;DR: TransDA as discussed by the authors applies the Transformer as the attention module and injects it into a convolutional network to encourage the model to turn attention towards the object regions, which can effectively improve the model's generalization ability on the target domains.

ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art performance of CNNs was achieved by Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) as discussed by the authors, which consists of five convolutional layers, some of which are followed by max-pooling layers, and three fully-connected layers with a final 1000-way softmax.

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.
