Hierarchical Transformer

Hierarchical Transformers are a class of deep learning models designed to process hierarchical data structures, improving efficiency and performance compared to standard Transformers, particularly for complex or large-scale inputs. Current research focuses on applying these models to diverse tasks, including image segmentation, time series forecasting, and natural language processing, often incorporating novel attention mechanisms and architectural modifications like hierarchical encoders and decoders. This approach is proving highly effective in various domains, leading to state-of-the-art results in applications ranging from medical image analysis to remote sensing and anomaly detection. The improved efficiency and performance of hierarchical Transformers are significantly advancing capabilities in these fields.
