Overall Results

Extensive results on ImageNet with diverse ViT backbones validate the effectiveness of our proposals which obtain significantly reduced computational cost and almost unimpaired generalization. Perhaps most surprisingly, we find that the proposed sparse (co-)training can even improve the ViT accuracy rather than compromising it, making sparsity a tantalizing “free lunch”. For example, our sparsified DeiT-Small at (5%, 50%) sparsity for (data, architecture), improves 0.28% top-1 accuracy, and meanwhile enjoys 49.32% FLOPs and 4.40% running time savings.

Proposed Framework of SViTE

Implementations of SViTE

Set Environment

conda create -n vit python=3.6

pip install tqdm scipy timm

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex

cd apex

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir ./
