In this video, I explain the paper “an image is worth 16x16 words” in which Vision Transformer is Introduced.
I first describe one of the biggest flaws in attention mechanism; which is the fact that it is computation-hungry. Then I show you how the authors of this paper got around this difficulty. We learn about Vision Transformer, a large model that can be fine-tuned for a variety of computer vision tasks; and observed that, given enough data, vision transformer outperforms CNNs.
