Vision Transformers leverage DCT for improved attention and efficiency

Researchers have developed a novel approach using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to enhance Vision Transformers. This method includes a DCT-based initialization strategy for self-attention, which improves classification accuracy on benchmarks like CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-1K. Additionally, a DCT-based attention compression technique reduces computational overhead by truncating high-frequency components of input patches, maintaining performance in models like the Swin Transformer.
