UniFormer

This repo is the official implementation of "UniFormer: Unifying Convolution and Self-attention for Visual Recognition" and "UniFormer: Unified Transformer for Efficient Spatiotemporal Representation Learning".

It currently includes code and models for the following tasks:

Note!!!!!

For downstream tasks:

We forget to freeze BN in backbone, which will further improve the performance.
We have verified that Token Labeling can largely help the downstream tasks. Have a try if you utilize UniFormer for competition or application.
The head_dim of some models are 32, which will lead to large memory cost but little improvement for downstream tasks. Those models with head_dim=64 are released released in image_classification.

Updates

Introduction

UniFormer (Unified transFormer) is introduce in arxiv (more details can be found in arxiv), which can seamlessly integrate merits of convolution and self-attention in a concise transformer format. We adopt local MHRA in shallow layers to largely reduce computation burden and global MHRA in deep layers to learn global token relation.

Without any extra training data, our UniFormer achieves 86.3 top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K classification. With only ImageNet-1K pre-training, it can simply achieve state-of-the-art performance in a broad range of downstream tasks. Our UniFormer obtains 82.9/84.8 top-1 accuracy on Kinetics-400/600, and 60.9/71.2 top-1 accuracy on Something-Something V1/V2 video classification tasks. It also achieves 53.8 box AP and 46.4 mask AP on COCO object detection task, 50.8 mIoU on ADE20K semantic segmentation task, and 77.4 AP on COCO pose estimation task.

Main results on ImageNet-1K

More models with large resolution and token labeling will be released soon.

* Since Kinetics-600 is too large to train (>1 month in single node with 8 A100 GPUs), we provide model trained in multi node (around 2 weeks with 32 V100 GPUs), but the result is lower due to the lack of tuning hyperparameters.
