Mixer Layer

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
A Mixer layer is a layer used in the MLP-Mixer architecture proposed by Tolstikhin et. al (2021) for computer vision. Mixer layers consist purely of MLPs, without convolutions or attention. It takes an input of embedded image patches (tokens), with its output having the same shape as its input, similar to that of a Vision Transformer encoder. As suggested by its name, Mixer layers "mix" tokens and channels through its "token mixing" and "channel mixing" MLPs contained the layer. It utilizes previous techniques by other architectures, such as layer normalization, skip-connections, and regularization methods.

16 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).
