Sequential Visual Place Recognition (Seq-VPR) leverages transformers to capture spatio-temporal features effectively. In practice, a transformer-based Seq-VPR model should be flexible to the number of frames per sequence (seq- length),…

We introduce Performers, Transformer architectures which can estimate regular (softmax) full-rank-attention Transformers with provable accuracy, but using only linear (as opposed to quadratic) space and time complexity, without relying on…

Although transformers have become the neural architectures of choice for natural language processing, they require orders of magnitude more training data, GPU memory, and computations in order to compete with convolutional neural networks…
