Hiera

Overview

Hiera was proposed in Hiera: A Hierarchical Vision Transformer without the Bells-and-Whistles by Chaitanya Ryali, Yuan-Ting Hu, Daniel Bolya, Chen Wei, Haoqi Fan, Po-Yao Huang, Vaibhav Aggarwal, Arkabandhu Chowdhury, Omid Poursaeed, Judy Hoffman, Jitendra Malik, Yanghao Li, Christoph Feichtenhofer

The paper introduces “Hiera,” a hierarchical Vision Transformer that simplifies the architecture of modern hierarchical vision transformers by removing unnecessary components without compromising on accuracy or efficiency. Unlike traditional transformers that add complex vision-specific components to improve supervised classification performance, Hiera demonstrates that such additions, often termed “bells-and-whistles,” are not essential for high accuracy. By leveraging a strong visual pretext task (MAE) for pretraining, Hiera retains simplicity and achieves superior accuracy and speed both in inference and training across various image and video recognition tasks. The approach suggests that spatial biases required for vision tasks can be effectively learned through proper pretraining, eliminating the need for added architectural complexity.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Modern hierarchical vision transformers have added several vision-specific components in the pursuit of supervised classification performance. While these components lead to effective accuracies and attractive FLOP counts, the added complexity actually makes these transformers slower than their vanilla ViT counterparts. In this paper, we argue that this additional bulk is unnecessary. By pretraining with a strong visual pretext task (MAE), we can strip out all the bells-and-whistles from a state-of-the-art multi-stage vision transformer without losing accuracy. In the process, we create Hiera, an extremely simple hierarchical vision transformer that is more accurate than previous models while being significantly faster both at inference and during training. We evaluate Hiera on a variety of tasks for image and video recognition. Our code and models are available at https://github.com/facebookresearch/hiera.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a HieraModel. It is used to instantiate a Hiera model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the Hiera facebook/hiera-base-224 architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import HieraConfig, HieraModel

>>> # Initializing a Hiera hiera-base-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> configuration = HieraConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the hiera-base-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> model = HieraModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, HieraModel
>>> import torch
>>> from datasets import load_dataset

>>> dataset = load_dataset("huggingface/cats-image", trust_remote_code=True)
