Researchers have introduced ViT-AdaLA, a new framework designed to adapt existing Vision Transformers (ViTs) for more efficient linear attention mechanisms. This method addresses the computational cost of training linear attention ViTs from scratch and the poor transferability of linear attention techniques from language models. ViT-AdaLA employs a three-stage process involving attention alignment, feature alignment with a frozen teacher model, and supervised fine-tuning to effectively transfer knowledge to downstream tasks.
