The Re-Attention Module is an attention layer used in the DeepViT architecture which mixes the attention map with a learnable matrix before multiplying with the values. The motivation is to re-generate the attention maps to increase their diversity at different layers with negligible computation and memory cost. The authors note that traditional self-attention fails to learn effective concepts for representation learning in deeper layers of ViT -- attention maps become more similar and less diverse in deeper layers (attention collapse) - and this hinders the model from getting expected performance gain. Re-attention is implemented by:

Re-Attention(Q, K, V)=Norm(Θ^⊤(Softmax((Q K^⊤)/(√(d))))) V

where transformation matrix Θ is multiplied to the self-attention map A along the head dimension.

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).
