• MLP-Mixer An all-MLP Architecture for Vision (08 May 2021)
  

  Google Brain proposed MLP-Mixer (code is available in google-research/vision_transformer official) which solely used multi-perceptron network (MLP) for computer vision tasks. This is different most commonly used convolution neural network (CNN) or more recently transformer based approaches. The experiment on image classification indicates that, given sufficient amount of data (e.g., 100M images) for pre-training then fine-tuned for target task (ImageNet 2012), MLP-Mixer is able to achieve competitive result as CNN and transformer. However, the performance drops far belower than CNN when insufficient amount of data are available for pre-training, especially for its larger variation. It is also found at similar accuracy, MLP-Mixer and transformer are faster than CNN (ResNet) for inference and training by 2~3 times.
