Vision Transformer architecture study reveals key generalization predictors

Researchers have conducted a rigorous architectural study of Vision Transformers (ViTs), focusing on their representation structure and generalization behavior. The study identifies feature collapse at initialization and proposes a reduction scheme to address redundancy. It also quantifies feature information using entropy and minimum eigenvalue, showing these metrics can predict generalization performance. Notably, features from linear submodules within ViT layers were found to be critical for predicting generalization, leading to a proxy that improves correlation ranking and helps identify efficient ViT architectures.
