What is uniformer_image?
UniFormer is an innovative vision transformer that uniquely combines the strengths of convolution and self-attention in a unified transformer architecture. Developed by researchers at Sense-X, it achieves remarkable performance on ImageNet-1K classification with 86.3% top-1 accuracy without requiring additional training data.
Implementation Details
The model implements a hybrid architecture using local MHRA (Multi-Head Relation Aggregation) in shallow layers to reduce computational complexity and global MHRA in deeper layers for learning global token relationships. The architecture comes in different variants, with UniFormer-S containing 22M parameters and UniFormer-B scaling up to 50M parameters.
- Supports 224x224 resolution image input
- Implements efficient local-global token mixing
- Provides multiple model sizes for different computational requirements
