• Abstract summary: We introduce a learnable module, the volumetric transformer network (VTN) VTN predicts channel-wise warping fields so as to reconfigure intermediate CNN features spatially and channel-wisely. Our experiments show that VTN consistently boosts the features' representation power and consequently the networks' accuracy on fine-grained image recognition and instance-level image retrieval.

• Abstract: Existing techniques to encode spatial invariance within deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) apply the same warping field to all the feature channels. This does not account for the fact that the individual feature channels can represent different semantic parts, which can undergo different spatial transformations w.r.t. a canonical configuration. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a learnable module, the volumetric transformer network (VTN), that predicts channel-wise warping fields so as to reconfigure intermediate CNN features spatially and channel-wisely. We design our VTN as an encoder-decoder network, with modules dedicated to letting the information flow across the feature channels, to account for the dependencies between the semantic parts. We further propose a loss function defined between the warped features of pairs of instances, which improves the localization ability of VTN. Our experiments show that VTN consistently boosts the features' representation power and consequently the networks' accuracy on fine-grained image recognition and instance-level image retrieval.

  We present a novel two-stream feature fusion "Tensor-Convolution and Convolution-Transformer Network" (TCCT-Net) architecture. To better learn the meaningful patterns in the temporal-spatial domain, we design a "CT" stream that integrates a hybrid convolutional-transformer. In parallel, to efficiently extract rich patterns from the temporal-frequency domain, we introduce a "TC" stream that uses Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to represent information in a 2D tensor form.

  Blind-spot networks (BSN) have been prevalent network architectures in self-supervised image denoising (SSID) We present a transformer-based blind-spot network (TBSN) by analyzing and redesigning the transformer operators that meet the blind-spot requirement. For spatial self-attention, an elaborate mask is applied to the attention matrix to restrict its receptive field, thus mimicking the dilated convolution. For channel self-attention, we observe that it may leak the blind-spot information when the channel number is greater than spatial size in the deep layers of multi-scale architectures.

  Generalizable implicit neural representation (INR) enables a single continuous function to represent multiple data instances.

• Bridging the Gap Between Vision Transformers and Convolutional Neural Networks on Small Datasets [91.25055890980084]
  There still remains an extreme performance gap between Vision Transformers (ViTs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) when training from scratch on small datasets. We propose Dynamic Hybrid Vision Transformer (DHVT) as the solution to enhance the two inductive biases. Our DHVT achieves a series of state-of-the-art performance with a lightweight model, 85.68% on CIFAR-100 with 22.8M parameters, 82.3% on ImageNet-1K with 24.0M parameters.
