An Image is Worth 16x16 Words: Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale

将transformer引入到了Image，代替了Conv，只是用transformer.
之前的难点：

• 相较于words token, 图像的每一个pixel没办法直接使用transformer，代价太大，每一个pixel都计算一次全局的self-attention的计算量很大。
• Transformer 没有平移不变性以及局部特性，在训练的时候如果没有大数据集，performance不如CNN。

Method

每一个patch当作是一个token,每一个token过linear projection，第一个token添加一个class token,Then 和位置编码相加，输入到transformer中。

Transformer:

Transformer

class Transformer(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, dim, depth, heads, dim_head, mlp_dim, dropout = 0.):
        super().__init__()
        self.layers = nn.ModuleList([])
        for _ in range(depth):
            self.layers.append(nn.ModuleList([
                PreNorm(dim, Attention(dim, heads = heads, dim_head = dim_head, dropout = dropout)),
                PreNorm(dim, FeedForward(dim, mlp_dim, dropout = dropout))
            ]))
    def forward(self, x):
        for attn, ff in self.layers:
            x = attn(x) + x
            x = ff(x) + x
        return x

class FeedForward(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, dim, hidden_dim, dropout = 0.):
        super().__init__()
        self.net = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Linear(dim, hidden_dim),
            nn.GELU(),
            nn.Dropout(dropout),
            nn.Linear(hidden_dim, dim),
            nn.Dropout(dropout)
        )
    def forward(self, x):
        return self.net(x)

每一个token，预测qkv，通过qk计算attention，得到attentive的v。随后过一个FeedForward层。

Attention

class Attention(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, dim, heads = 8, dim_head = 64, dropout = 0.):
        super().__init__()
        inner_dim = dim_head *  heads
        project_out = not (heads == 1 and dim_head == dim)

        self.heads = heads
        self.scale = dim_head ** -0.5

        self.attend = nn.Softmax(dim = -1)
        self.to_qkv = nn.Linear(dim, inner_dim * 3, bias = False)

        self.to_out = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Linear(inner_dim, dim),
            nn.Dropout(dropout)
        ) if project_out else nn.Identity()

    def forward(self, x):
        b, n, _, h = *x.shape, self.heads
        qkv = self.to_qkv(x).chunk(3, dim = -1)
        q, k, v = map(lambda t: rearrange(t, 'b n (h d) -> b h n d', h = h), qkv)

        dots = einsum('b h i d, b h j d -> b h i j', q, k) * self.scale

        attn = self.attend(dots)

        out = einsum('b h i j, b h j d -> b h i d', attn, v)
        out = rearrange(out, 'b h n d -> b n (h d)')
        return self.to_out(out)
