ACmix

This repo contains the official PyTorch code and pre-trained models for ACmix.

• On the Integration of Self-Attention and Convolution

Update

• 2022.4.13 Update ResNet training code.

  Notice: Self-attention in ResNet is adopted following Stand-Alone Self-Attention in Vision Models, NeurIPS 2019. The sliding window pattern is extremely inefficient unless with carefully designed CUDA implementations. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use ACmix on SAN (with more efficient self-attention pattern) or Transformer-based models instead of vanilla ResNet.

Introduction

We explore a closer relationship between convolution and self-attention in the sense of sharing the same computation overhead (1×1 convolutions), and combining with the remaining lightweight aggregation operations.

Results

• Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet v.s. Multiply-Adds
