Vision Transformers in 2022: An Update on Tiny ImageNet
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
The recent advances in image transformers have shown impressive results and have largely closed the gap between traditional CNN architectures. The standard procedure is to train on large datasets like ImageNet-21k and then finetune on ImageNet-1k. After finetuning, researches will often consider the transfer learning performance on smaller datasets such as CIFAR-10/100 but have left out Tiny ImageNet. This paper offers an update on vision transformers' performance on Tiny ImageNet. I include Vision Transformer (ViT) , Data Efficient Image Transformer (DeiT), Class Attention in Image Transformer (CaiT), and Swin Transformers. In addition, Swin Transformers beats the current state-of-the-art result with a validation accuracy of 91.35%. Code is available here: https://github.com/ehuynh1106/TinyImageNet-Transformers
