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

Local Patch Interaction, or LPI, is a module used for the XCiT layer to enable explicit communication across patches. LPI consists of two depth-wise 3×3 convolutional layers with Batch Normalization and GELU non-linearity in between. Due to its depth-wise structure, the LPI block has a negligible overhead in terms of parameters, as well as a limited overhead in terms of throughput and memory usage during inference.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (4 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

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).
