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.

FuseFormer: Fusing Fine-Grained Information in Transformers for Video Inpainting

TL;DR: Fuseformer as discussed by the authors proposes a fine-grained feature fusion based on soft split and soft composition operations for video inpainting, where the soft split divides feature map into many patches with given overlapping interval and the soft composition operates by stitching different patches into a whole feature map.

Channelized Axial Attention for Semantic Segmentation -- Considering Channel Relation within Spatial Attention for Semantic Segmentation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed Channelized Axial Attention (CAA) to seamlessly integrate channel attention and spatial attention into a single operation with negligible computation overhead, and they further developed grouped vectorization, which allows their model to run with very little memory consumption without slowing down the running speed.
