FasterViT achieves a new SOTA Pareto-front in terms of Top-1 accuracy and throughput without extra training data !
We introduce a new self-attention mechanism, denoted as Hierarchical Attention (HAT), that captures both short and long-range information by learning cross-window carrier tokens.
Note: Please use the latest NVIDIA TensorRT release to enjoy the benefits of optimized FasterViT ops.

We can import pre-trained FasterViT models with 1 line of code. Firstly, FasterViT can be simply installed:
pip install fastervitNote: Please upgrate the package to fastervit>=0.9.8 if you have already installed the package to use the pretrained weights.
A pretrained FasterViT model with default hyper-parameters can be created as in:
>>> from fastervit import create_model
# Define fastervit-0 model with 224 x 224 resolution
>>> model = create_model('faster_vit_0_224',
pretrained=True,
model_path="/tmp/faster_vit_0.pth.tar")model_path is used to set the directory to download the model.
We can also simply test the model by passing a dummy input image. The output is the logits:
>>> import torch
>>> image = torch.rand(1, 3, 224, 224)
>>> output = model(image) # torch.Size([1, 1000])We can also use the any-resolution FasterViT model to accommodate arbitrary image resolutions. In the following, we define an any-resolution FasterViT-0 model with input resolution of 576 x 960, window sizes of 12 and 6 in 3rd and 4th stages, carrier token size of 2 and embedding dimension of 64:
>>> from fastervit import create_model
# Define any-resolution FasterViT-0 model with 576 x 960 resolution
>>> model = create_model('faster_vit_0_any_res',
resolution=[576, 960],
window_size=[7, 7, 12, 6],
ct_size=2,
dim=64,
pretrained=True)Note that the above model is intiliazed from the original ImageNet pre-trained FasterViT with original resolution of 224 x 224. As a result, missing keys and mis-matches could be expected since we are addign new layers (e.g. addition of new carrier tokens, etc.)
We can test the model by passing a dummy input image. The output is the logits:
>>> import torch
>>> image = torch.rand(1, 3, 576, 960)
>>> output = model(image) # torch.Size([1, 1000])- ImageNet-1K training code

We provide a docker file. In addition, assuming that a recent PyTorch package is installed, the dependencies can be installed by running:
pip install -r requirements.txtPlease see TRAINING.md for detailed training instructions of all models.
The FasterViT models can be evaluated on ImageNet-1K validation set using the following:
python validate.py \
--model <model-name>
--checkpoint <checkpoint-path>
--data_dir <imagenet-path>
--batch-size <batch-size-per-gpu
Here --model is the FasterViT variant (e.g. faster_vit_0_224_1k), --checkpoint is the path to pretrained model weights, --data_dir is the path to ImageNet-1K validation set and --batch-size is the number of batch size. We also provide a sample script here.
We provide ONNX conversion script to enable dynamic batch size inference. For instance, to generate ONNX model for faster_vit_0_any_res with resolution 576 x 960 and ONNX opset number 17, the following can be used.
python onnx_convert --model-name faster_vit_0_any_res --simplify --resolution-h 576 --resolution-w 960 --onnx-opset 17
To generate FasterViT CoreML models, please install coremltools==5.2.0 and use our provided script.
It is recommended to benchmark the performance by using Xcode14 or newer releases.
We always welcome third-party extentions/implementations and usage for other purposes. The following represent third-party contributions by other users.
