Visual Prompt Tuning(VPT) only introduces a small amount of task-specific learnable parameters into the input space while freezing the entire pre-trained Transformer backbone during downstream training. In practice, these additional parameters are simply prepended into the input sequence of each Transformer layer and learned together with a linear head during fine-tuning. VPT is especially effective in the low-data regime, and maintains its advantage across data scales. Finally, VPT is competitive for a range of Transformer scales and designs (ViTBase/Large/Huge, Swin). Put together, the results suggest that VPT is one of the most effective ways of adapting ever-growing vision backbones.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
4 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 4 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
