Researchers have developed a new method called HetDPT to improve depth pruning for Vision Transformers (ViTs). This approach accounts for the heterogeneity between different layers, which was a limitation in previous depth pruning techniques. HetDPT avoids dimension mismatches and has demonstrated significant speedups on datasets like ImageNet-1K and CIFAR-100, maintaining accuracy. When combined with width pruning, HetDPT+ has set a new state-of-the-art for extreme ViT pruning, achieving higher acceleration ratios with near-lossless accuracy. AI
