The self-attention-based transformer model was first introduced by Vaswani et al. in their paper Attention Is All You Need in 2017 and has been widely used in natural language processing. A ...

In the last decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been the go-to architecture in computer vision, owing to their powerful capability in learning representations from images/videos.

Transformers, first proposed in a Google research paper in 2017, were initially designed for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Recently, researchers applied transformers to vision applications ...
