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.

We introduce Pre-Warm, a simple yet effective zero-training-cost method for data-conditioned initialization of the first convolutional layer. Before the first forward pass, Pre-Warm extracts mean-centered local patches from a single training batch, clusters them with MiniBatchKMeans, applies inverse Manhattan spatial weighting, and uses the resulting centroids to initialize half of the first-layer filters (the remainder retain Kaiming initialization).
