Vision Transformer Network
Vision Transformer (ViT) networks leverage the attention mechanism to process image data as a sequence of patches, enabling powerful feature extraction and global context understanding. Current research focuses on improving ViT efficiency through architectural innovations like hierarchical designs and adaptive token processing, as well as exploring effective training strategies such as self-supervised learning and novel initialization methods. These advancements are driving improvements in various applications, including image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, and medical image analysis, often surpassing the performance of convolutional neural networks in specific tasks. The resulting models are finding use in diverse fields like autonomous driving, drone technology, and healthcare.
