The paper introduces a holistic framework that jointly optimizes architecture, token, and bit-width for Vision Transformers (ViTs). It uses Neural Architecture Search (AutoFormer) to find compact backbones, token merging (ToMe) to reduce information processing, and fp16 mixed‑precision inference to accelerate operations. Experiments on ImageNet‑1K and a real‑world 3D X‑ray semiconductor defect dataset show over 10× improvements in throughput and reductions in parameters, FLOPs, and energy while preserving accuracy.

The paper studies Graph-Guided Token Merging (G2TM), a module that reduces token count in Vision Transformers. It evaluates G2TM across multiple segmentation frameworks and decoder types, finding that its performance gains are tied to the encoder rather than the decoder. The authors report consistent reductions in GFLOPs (22‑47%) and throughput improvements (up to 74%) on ADE20K, with optimal hyperparameters depending mainly on backbone pre‑training and target dataset.
