Official PyTorch implementation of GroupMixFormer for the paper:
TL; DR:
We introduce GroupMixFormer, which employs Group-Mix Attention (GMA) as an advanced substitute for conventional self-attention. GMA is designed to concurrently capture correlations between tokens as well as between different groups of tokens, accommodating diverse group sizes.
Full abstract
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have shown to enhance visual recognition through modeling long-range dependencies with multi-head self-attentions (MHSA), which is typically formulated as Query-Key-Value computation. However, the attention map generated from the Query and Key only captures token-to-token correlations at one single granularity. In this paper, we argue that self-attention should have a more comprehensive mechanism to capture correlations among tokens and groups (i.e., multiple adjacent tokens) for higher representational capacity. Thereby, we propose Group-Mix Attention (GMA) as an advanced replacement for traditional self-attention, which can simultaneously capture token-to-token, token-to-group, and group-to-group correlations with various group sizes. To this end, GMA splits the Query, Key, and Value into segments uniformly and performs different group aggregations to generate group proxies. The attention map is computed based on the mixtures of tokens and group proxies and used to re-combine the tokens and groups in Value. Based on GMA, we introduce a powerful backbone, namely GroupMixFormer, which achieves state-of-the-art performance in image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation with fewer parameters than existing models. For instance, GroupMixFormer-L (with 70.3M parameters and 384^2 input) attains 86.2% Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K without external data, while GroupMixFormer-B (with 45.8M parameters) attains 51.2% mIoU on ADE20K.
