Accelerating Vision Transformers with Adaptive Patch Sizes
📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Accelerate Vision Transformers by using adaptive patch sizes to reduce input sequence lengths, improving performance on high-resolution images
Action Steps
- Implement Adaptive Patch Transformers (APT) using PyTorch or TensorFlow to allocate multiple patch sizes within an image
- Use larger patch sizes in homogeneous areas and smaller patches in complex areas to reduce input tokens
- Train APT models on high-resolution image datasets to evaluate performance improvements
- Compare the results of APT with traditional Vision Transformers to measure the acceleration gains
- Apply APT to real-world image classification tasks, such as object detection or segmentation, to leverage its benefits

Title: Accelerating Vision Transformers with Adaptive Patch Sizes
Abstract:
arXiv:2510.18091v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision Transformers (ViTs) partition input images into uniformly sized patches regardless of their content, resulting in long input sequence lengths for high-resolution images. We present Adaptive Patch Transformers (APT), which addresses this by using multiple different patch sizes within the same image. APT reduces the total number of input tokens by allocating larger patch sizes in more homogeneous areas and smaller patches in more com
