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.

Towards High-Quality Temporal Action Detection with Sparse Proposals.

TL;DR: SP-TAD as discussed by the authors introduces sparse proposals to interact with the hierarchical features to localize the temporal segments containing human action instances and predict the action categories, which enables utilization of high-resolution features to preserve action instances details.

Motion Planning Transformers: One Model to Plan Them All

TL;DR: In this article, a transformer-based approach is proposed to solve the complex motion planning problems in the real world, where the transformers are used to identify regions on the map using transformers to provide attention to map areas likely to include the best path and then apply local planners to generate the final collision-free path.

Visual Parser: Representing Part-whole Hierarchies with Transformers.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors propose Visual Parser (ViP) which divides visual representations into two levels, the part level and the whole level, and encode the information from the whole into part vectors through an attention mechanism, then decode the global information within the part vectors back into the whole representation.

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.
