ProgResViT is an input‑adaptive Vision Transformer that processes images progressively across multiple rounds, starting with a low‑resolution image and a narrow subnetwork and refining the prediction with higher resolution and a wider subnetwork if needed. The method introduces Progress‑Conditioned Soft Gating (PSG) to share a single backbone across rounds while conditioning token fusion and layer outputs on the current round, block, and input resolution. Experiments on DeiT show improved accuracy‑compute trade‑offs compared to adaptive‑width, adaptive‑depth, and dynamic‑token baselines, and the design also benefits self‑supervised DINO representations and downstream semantic segmentation.

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.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated encouraging results in image classification tasks. However, the prohibitive computational cost of CNNs hinders the deployment of CNNs onto resource-constrained embedded devices.
GramLoop is a training‑free framework that enhances frozen DINOv3 dense‑prediction models under distribution shift by adding inference computation within the visual backbone. It replays a short transformer window and uses final‑layer cosine‑Gram consistency to control each replay, propagating proposals through the frozen suffix and accepting them via a patchwise gate. Across object detection and semantic segmentation tasks, GramLoop improves performance on all five shifted benchmarks, notably raising COCO‑O mAP by +0.252 and Effective Robustness by +0.250 while maintaining clean ADE20K accuracy.
The paper introduces Successive Capacity Growth (SCG), a method for adaptively expanding Vision Transformer encoders in Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs). SCG starts with a minimal encoder and incrementally increases width or depth based on a task‑agnostic test‑and‑verify mechanism, while a Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularizer (SIGReg) keeps learned semantic dimensions independent. Experiments on multi‑object dynamics and 2D navigation tasks show that SCG achieves up to 20.3% better prediction loss than fixed small baselines and 23% better than fixed large models, with far greater parameter efficiency and no false‑positive expansions.
