Vision Transformer

This repository implements a simple clissifer based on Vision Transformer

This uses the d2l library with PyTorch.

Model

Classic Transformer architecture as follow :

• Patch embedding (with convolution) + Positionnal embedding (learnable)
• Normalization 1
• Multihead Attention Layer
• Residual Connection
• Normalization 2
• Multilayer processing with :
  • Dense Layer
  • GELU activation function (https://medium.com/@shauryagoel/gelu-gaussian-error-linear-unit-4ec59fb2e47c)
  • Dropout
  • Dense Layer
  • Dropout
• Head with :
  • Normalization
  • Linear Layer

Data

We use MNIST Fashion dataset downloaded with d2l library
