ViTAMINS: An Empirical Study of Training Self-Supervised Vision Transformers with Synthetic Hard Negatives

ViTAMINS is a method that incorporates synthetic hard negatives into unsupervised vision transformer pretraining to enhance representation quality. The approach is evaluated on ImageNet and a range of downstream tasks—including transfer learning, image retrieval, copy detection, and image/video segmentation—showing significant performance gains. The synthetic negatives also lead to emergent properties, such as representations that encode explicit semantic information and act as strong classifiers, improving over baselines by up to 11.3%.

Vertical Fusion: Condensing Internal Representations for Robust ViT Classification

arXiv:2607. 10391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite exposing rich intermediate representations, Vision Transformers (ViTs) are almost exclusively utilized as black-box feature extractors, where only the last layer is considered for downstream tasks.
