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.

Thought Flow Nets: From Single Predictions to Trains of Model Thought

TL;DR: The authors proposed a method that turns an existing classifier's class prediction (such as the image class forest) into a sequence of predictions, such as forest, tree, and mushroom, by using a correction module that is trained to estimate the model's correctness and an iterative prediction update based on the prediction's gradient.

Dynamically pruning segformer for efficient semantic segmentation

TL;DR: Based on the observation that neurons in Segformer layers exhibit large variances across different images, the authors proposes a dynamic gated linear layer, which prunes the most uninformative set of neurons based on the input instance.
