This paper tackles the high computational/space complexity associated with multi-head self-attention(MHSA)in vanilla vision transformers.To this end,we propose hierarchical MHSA(H-MHSA),a novel approach that computes self-attention in a hier-archical fashion.Specifically,we first divide the input image into patches as commonly done,and each patch is viewed as a token.Then,the proposed H-MHSA learns token relationships within local patches,serving as local relationship modeling.Then,the small patches are merged into larger ones,and H-MHSA models the global dependencies for the small number of the merged tokens.At last,the local and global attentive features are aggregated to obtain features with powerful representation capacity.Since we only calculate attention for a limited number of tokens at each step,the computational load is reduced dramatically.Hence,H-MHSA can efficiently model glob-al relationships among tokens without sacrificing fine-grained information.With the H-MHSA module incorporated,we build a family of hierarchical-attention-based transformer networks,namely HAT-Net.To demonstrate the superiority of HAT-Net in scene understand-ing,we conduct extensive experiments on fundamental vision tasks,including image classification,semantic segmentation,object detec-tion and instance segmentation.Therefore,HAT-Net provides a new perspective for vision transformers.Code and pretrained models are available at https://github.com/yun-liu/HAT-Net.
