New framework probes Vision Transformer geometry and representation dynamics

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced the Transformer Geometry Observatory (TGO), a framework designed to explore the representational geometry of Vision Transformers (ViTs). The initial installment, TGO-I, specifically examines the spectral geometry of ViT representations. Experiments using a ViT-Small/16 model trained on ImageNet-100 revealed that as training progresses, dimensional utilization increases, while anisotropy decreases. Contrary to expectations, information is redistributed across representational dimensions rather than concentrating into a few dominant directions, with the CLS token representation showing the highest effective dimensionality.
