This repository contains PyTorch implementation for DynamicViT (NeurIPS 2021).
DynamicViT is a dynamic token sparsification framework to prune redundant tokens in vision transformers progressively and dynamically based on the input. Our method can reduces over 30% FLOPs and improves the throughput by over 40% while the drop of accuracy is within 0.5% for various vision transformers.
[Project Page] [arXiv (NeurIPS 2021)]
We extend our method to more network architectures (i.e., ConvNeXt and Swin Transformers) and more tasks (i.e., object detection and semantic segmentation) with an improved dynamic spatial sparsification framework. Please refer to the extended version of our paper for details. The extended version has been accepted by T-PAMI.

You can try DynamicViT on Colab . Thank @dirtycomputer for the contribution.
We also provide a Jupyter notebook where you can run the visualization of DynamicViT.
To run the demo, you need to install matplotlib
.
To evaluate a pre-trained DynamicViT model on the ImageNet validation set with a single GPU, run:
python infer.py --data_path /path/to/ILSVRC2012/ --model model_name \
--model_path /path/to/model --base_rate 0.7
To train Dynamic Spatial Sparsification models on ImageNet, run:
(You can train models with different keeping ratio by adjusting base_rate
. )
