Everything about Vision transformer

Machine learning model for vision processing

A vision transformer (ViT) is a transformer designed for computer vision. A ViT decomposes an input image into a series of patches, serializes each patch into a vector, and maps it to a smaller dimension with a single matrix multiplication. These vector embeddings are then processed by a transformer encoder as if they were token embeddings. Wikipedia →
