Class-Attention in Image Transformers
CaiT
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
CaiT, or Class-Attention in Image Transformers, is a type of vision transformer with several design alterations upon the original ViT. First a new layer scaling approach called LayerScale is used, adding a learnable diagonal matrix on output of each residual block, initialized close to (but not at) 0, which improves the training dynamics. Secondly, class-attention layers are introduced to the architecture. This creates an architecture where the transformer layers involving self-attention between patches are explicitly separated from class-attention layers -- that are devoted to extract the content of the processed patches into a single vector so that it can be fed to a linear classifier.

Tasks archive 2025-07-28
4 tasks the archive attaches to papers tagged with this method, by distinct papers. A task without a page in the catalog is plain text.
Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
