archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

Class-MLP is an alternative to average pooling, which is an adaptation of the class-attention token introduced in CaiT. In CaiT, this consists of two layers that have the same structure as the transformer, but in which only the class token is updated based on the frozen patch embeddings. In Class-MLP, the same approach is used, but after aggregating the patches with a linear layer, we replace the attention-based interaction between the class and patch embeddings by simple linear layers, still keeping the patch embeddings frozen. This increases the performance, at the expense of adding some parameters and computational cost. This pooling variant is referred to as “class-MLP”, since the purpose of these few layers is to replace average pooling.

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).
