GC ViT achieves state-of-the-art results across image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation tasks. On ImageNet-1K dataset for classification, GC ViT variants with 51M, 90M and 201M parameters achieve 84.3, 85.9 and 85.7 Top-1 accuracy, respectively, surpassing comparably-sized prior art such as CNN-based ConvNeXt and ViT-based Swin Transformer.

The architecture of GC ViT is demonstrated in the following:

Introduction

GC ViT leverages global context self-attention modules, joint with local self-attention, to effectively yet efficiently model both long and short-range spatial interactions, without the need for expensive operations such as computing attention masks or shifting local windows.
