Vision Transformer instability addressed by Phase Marginalization technique

Researchers have developed a new technique called Phase Marginalization to address instability issues in Vision Transformers (ViTs) when used for dense prediction tasks. This method accounts for the phase-dependent instability caused by fixed patch grids in ViTs by evaluating different patch-grid phases and aggregating the results. A training-free variant, Uniform Phase Marginalization with K=4, showed modest improvements in segmentation, depth estimation, and local matching tasks without significant additional compute cost compared to standard methods.

    Phase Marginalization for Patch-Grid Instability in Vision Transformers

    arXiv:2606.08132v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision Transformers operate on fixed patch grids, which can introduce phase-dependent instability for dense prediction: changing the patch partition can change the token evidence available to a pixel, especially near boundaries. W…
