arXiv:2606. 03428v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The large sizes of Spiking Vision Transformers (SViTs) still hinder their embedded implementation, highlighting the need for model compression.
arXiv:2606. 03257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spiking Vision Transformer (SViT) models are promising low-power ViT models for solving vision-based tasks with state-of-the-art performance.
The paper introduces a hardware‑aware framework that uses genetic programming to evolve layer‑specific scalar functions for Vision Transformers, replacing traditional LayerNorm with efficient, heterogeneous approximations. By applying a post‑training re‑alignment strategy, the method eliminates the need for full model retraining while achieving 90‑93% variance capture and recovering over 84% of ImageNet‑1K Top‑1 accuracy for ViT‑B and ViT‑L. The resulting architecture removes the global reduction bottleneck, reducing arithmetic complexity and off‑chip memory traffic, thereby enabling efficient deployment of ViTs on edge accelerators.
arXiv:2608. 06901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable generalization across diverse multimodal tasks through large-scale pre-training, yet their rapidly increasing computational and memory requirements pose significant challenges for deployment in constrained environments.
