Researchers have explored the benefits of progressive depth growth in self-supervised vision transformers, specifically within the MAE and DINOv3 frameworks. Their findings indicate that this training strategy improves downstream performance on both global and dense tasks while simultaneously reducing computational costs by up to 24.8%. The study also revealed that progressive depth growth enhances performance in intermediate layers and alters internal computational patterns, such as attention mechanisms, leading to more efficient and effective visual representation learning.
