Compact Convolutional Transformer
Compact Convolutional Transformers (CCTs) are hybrid deep learning models combining the strengths of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and vision transformers (ViTs) to achieve efficient and accurate image classification, particularly with limited data. Current research focuses on applying CCTs to various challenging tasks, including medical image analysis (e.g., Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, COVID-19 detection, blood cell classification) and industrial applications (e.g., wafer defect recognition), leveraging their ability to capture both local and global features. The success of CCTs in these domains highlights their potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of image-based analysis in diverse fields where large datasets are scarce or unavailable.
