Title: NuWa: Deriving Lightweight Class-Specific Vision Transformers for Edge Devices

Abstract:
arXiv:2504.03118v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision Transformers (ViTs) often need to be compressed for deployment on resource-constrained edge devices like drones and smart vehicles. However, existing model compression methods ignore that many edge devices only require the knowledge of specific classes for their applications. As a result, the derived all-class ViTs retain redundant knowledge and perform suboptimally on these classes. We discovered that simply replacing the calibrat
