BDNet introduces fast-slow thinking for efficient image classification

Researchers have introduced BDNet, a novel hierarchical image-classification backbone designed for enhanced efficiency and robustness. This network utilizes a "fast-slow thinking" approach, employing a baseline deformation operator (BDO) that processes feature deviations against stage-specific statistical references. Unlike methods relying on pairwise token similarity, BDNet operates directly on relative residuals with linear complexity relative to token count. The model's architecture includes four stages with specific depths and widths, resulting in a 20.70 million-parameter classifier. An ImageNet-1K study was conducted to evaluate BDNet's performance in clean classification and its robustness against various perturbations, including Gaussian noise, contrast, and brightness changes.
