Less is More: Pay Less Attention in Vision Transformers

Official PyTorch implementation of Less is More: Pay Less Attention in Vision Transformers.

By Zizheng Pan, Bohan Zhuang, Haoyu He, Jing Liu and Jianfei Cai.

In our paper, we present a novel Less attention vIsion Transformer (LIT), building upon the fact that convolutions, fully-connected (FC) layers, and self-attentions have almost equivalent mathematical expressions for processing image patch sequences. LIT uses pure multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) to encode rich local patterns in the early stages while applying self-attention modules to capture longer dependencies in deeper layers. Moreover, we further propose a learned deformable token merging module to adaptively fuse informative patches in a non-uniform manner.

Usage

First, clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/MonashAI/LIT

Next, create a conda virtual environment.

# Make sure you have a NVIDIA GPU.
cd LIT/
bash setup_env.sh [conda_install_path] [env_name]

# For example
bash setup_env.sh /home/anaconda3 lit

Note: We use PyTorch 1.7.1 with CUDA 10.1 for all experiments. The setup_env.sh has illustrated all dependencies we used in our experiments. You may want to edit this file to install a different version of PyTorch or any other packages.

Data Preparation

Download the ImageNet 2012 dataset from here, and prepare the dataset based on this script. The file structure should look like:

imagenet
├── train
│   ├── class1
│   │   ├── img1.jpeg
│   │   ├── img2.jpeg
│   │   └── ...
│   ├── class2
│   │   ├── img3.jpeg
│   │   └── ...
│   └── ...
└── val
    ├── class1
    │   ├── img4.jpeg
    │   ├── img5.jpeg
    │   └── ...
    ├── class2
    │   ├── img6.jpeg
    │   └── ...
    └── ...

Model Zoo

We provide baseline LIT models pretrained on ImageNet 2012.

    Problem about DCN

    I have some problems about compiling DCN, thus it is hard for me to use the DCN.deform_conv2d_forward and DCN.deform_conv2d_backward functions. Can 'deform_conv2d_naive' be used instead of this part? Or is there other methods for me to accomplish this DCN.deform_conv2d part?
