PyTorch Code

The proposed BatchFormer can be implemented with a few lines as follows,

def BatchFormer(x, y, encoder, is_training):
    # x: input features with the shape [N, C]
    # encoder: TransformerEncoderLayer(C,4,C,0.5)
    if not is_training:
        return x, y
    pre_x = x
    x = encoder(x.unsqueeze(1)).squeeze(1)
    x = torch.cat([pre_x, x], dim=0)
    y = torch.cat([y, y], dim=0)
    return x, y
