Do Vision Transformers See Like Convolutional Neural Networks? New paper arxiv.org/abs/2108.08810 The successes of Transformers in computer vision prompts a fundamental question: how are they solving these tasks? Do Transformers act like CNNs, or learn very different features?

Many of these trends don't hold. Last week we celebrated @geoffreyhinton's retirement, and a few weeks earlier saw @kkariko receive the Nobel Prize. Their research took decades to come together, and had enormous impact at a world scale. We'd be much worse off if they'd pivoted!

We're releasing tutorials on our work using CCA to compare and probe representations in deep neural networks: github.com/google/svcca/t… There are Jupyter notebooks overviewing the technique, descriptions of results, and discussions of open problems. We hope this is useful resource!
