Generative Vision Transformer

Generative Vision Transformers (GenViTs) are a rapidly evolving area of research focusing on leveraging the strengths of vision transformers for image and video generation tasks. Current work explores architectures that combine transformers with convolutional neural networks or diffusion models, often incorporating techniques like masked token modeling and prompt tuning to improve efficiency and generalization across diverse datasets. These models are being applied to various applications, including deepfake detection and video synthesis, demonstrating improved performance and efficiency compared to previous methods. The ability of GenViTs to perform both generative and discriminative tasks within a single framework represents a significant advancement in the field.
