Researchers have developed ProgResViT, a novel adaptive Vision Transformer that processes images progressively across multiple rounds. This approach begins with a low-resolution image and a narrow subnetwork, terminating inference when confidence is high or proceeding to higher resolutions and wider subnetworks for refinement. The system utilizes Progress-Conditioned Soft Gating (PSG) to condition token fusion and layer outputs based on the current round, block, and input resolution. ProgResViT demonstrates improved accuracy-compute trade-offs compared to existing adaptive methods on image classification tasks and shows promise for self-supervised learning and semantic segmentation.
