New attention methods aim to scale Vision Transformers efficiently

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 2 sources

Two new research papers propose novel attention mechanisms for Vision Transformers (ViTs) to address the quadratic complexity issue with increasing image resolution. Representative Attention (RPAttention) uses learned representative tokens to mediate communication, allowing semantically related regions to interact regardless of spatial distance. Elastic Attention Cores (VECA) employs a core-periphery structure where patch tokens communicate exclusively through a small set of learned core embeddings, achieving linear complexity. AI

    Representative Attention For Vision Transformers

    Linear attention has emerged as a promising direction for scaling Vision Transformers beyond the quadratic cost of dense self-attention. A prevalent strategy is to compress spatial tokens into a compact set of intermediate proxies that mediate global information exchange. However…

    Elastic Attention Cores for Scalable Vision Transformers

    Vision Transformers (ViTs) achieve strong data-driven scaling by leveraging all-to-all self-attention. However, this flexibility incurs a computational cost that scales quadratically with image resolution, limiting ViTs in high-resolution domains. Underlying this approach is the …
