Shuffle Transformer
The implementation of "Shuffle Transformer: Rethinking Spatial Shuffle for Vision Transformer"
Introduction
Very recently, window-based Transformers, which computed self-attention within non-overlapping local windows, demonstrated promising results on image classification, semantic segmentation, and object detection. However, less study has been devoted to the cross-window connection which is the key element to improve the representation ability. Shuffle Transformer revisit the spatial shuffle as an efficient way to build connections among windows, which is highly efficient and easy to implement by modifying two lines of code. Furthermore, the depth-wise convolution is introduced to complement the spatial shuffle for enhancing neighbor-window connections. The proposed architectures achieve excellent performance on a wide range of visual tasks including image-level classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation.
