Recently, Vision Transformers (ViTs) have achieved impressive results on various vision tasks. Yet, their generalization ability under different distribution shifts is rarely understood. In this work, we provide a comprehensive study on the out-of-distribution generalization of ViTs. To support a systematic investigation, we first present a taxonomy of distribution shifts by categorizing them into five conceptual groups: corruption shift, background shift, texture shift, destruction shift, and style shift. Then we perform extensive evaluations of ViT variants under different groups of distribution shifts and compare their generalization ability with CNNs. Several important observations are obtained: 1) ViTs generalize better than CNNs under multiple distribution shifts. With the same or fewer parameters, ViTs are ahead of corresponding CNNs by more than 5% in top-1 accuracy under most distribution shifts. 2) Larger ViTs gradually narrow the in-distribution and out-of-distribution performance gap. To further improve the generalization of ViTs, we design the Generalization-Enhanced ViTs by integrating adversarial learning, information theory, and self-supervised learning. By investigating three types of generalization-enhanced ViTs, we observe their gradient-sensitivity and design a smoother learning strategy to achieve a stable training process. With modified training schemes, we achieve improvements on performance towards out-of-distribution data by 4% from vanilla ViTs. We comprehensively compare three generalization-enhanced ViTs with their corresponding CNNs, and observe that: 1) For the enhanced model, larger ViTs still benefit more for the out-of-distribution generalization. 2) generalization-enhanced ViTs are more sensitive to the hyper-parameters than corresponding CNNs. We hope our comprehensive study could shed light on the design of more generalizable learning architectures.

Traditional normalization techniques (e.g., Batch Normalization and Instance Normalization) generally and simplistically assume that training and test data follow the same distribution. As distribution shifts are inevitable in real-world applications
, well-trained models with previous normalization methods can perform badly in new environments. Can we develop new normalization methods to improve generalization robustness under distribution shifts? In this paper, we answer the question by proposing CrossNorm and SelfNorm. CrossNorm exchanges channel-wise mean and variance between feature maps to enlarge training distribution, while SelfNorm uses attention to recalibrate the statistics to bridge gaps between training and test distributions. CrossNorm and SelfNorm can complement each other, though exploring different directions in statistics usage. Extensive experiments on different fields (vision and language), tasks (classification and segmentation), settings (supervised and semi-supervised), and distribution shift types (synthetic and natural) show the effectiveness.

Real-world data often exhibit imbalanced distributions, where certain target values have significantly fewer observations. Existing techniques for dealing with imbalanced data focus on targets with categorical indices, i.e., different classes. Howeve
r, many tasks involve continuous targets, where hard boundaries between classes do not exist. We define Deep Imbalanced Regression (DIR) as learning from such imbalanced data with continuous targets, dealing with potential missing data for certain target values, and generalizing to the entire target range. Motivated by the intrinsic difference between categorical and continuous label space, we propose distribution smoothing for both labels and features, which explicitly acknowledges the effects of nearby targets, and calibrates both label and learned feature distributions. We curate and benchmark large-scale DIR datasets from common real-world tasks in computer vision, natural language processing, and healthcare domains. Extensive experiments verify the superior performance of our strategies. Our work fills the gap in benchmarks and techniques for practical imbalanced regression problems.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most frequent cause of malignancy-related death and is one of the diseases with the highest incidence in the world. Because the liver is the only organ in the human body that is supplied by two major vesse
ls: the hepatic artery and the portal vein, various types of malignant tumors can spread from other organs to the liver. And due to the liver masses heterogeneous and diffusive shape, the tumor lesions are very difficult to be recognized, thus automatic lesion detection is necessary for the doctors with huge workloads. To assist doctors, this work uses the existing large-scale annotation medical image data to delve deep into liver lesion detection from multiple directions. To solve technical difficulties, such as the image-recognition task, traditional deep learning with convolution neural networks (CNNs) has been widely applied in recent years. However, this kind of neural network, such as Faster Regions with CNN features (R-CNN), cannot leverage the spatial information because it is applied in natural images (2D) rather than medical images (3D), such as computed tomography (CT) images. To address this issue, we propose a novel algorithm that is appropriate for liver CT imaging. Furthermore, according to radiologists experience in clinical diagnosis and the characteristics of CT images of liver cancer, a liver cancer-detection framework with CNN, including image processing, feature extraction, region proposal, image registration, and classification recognition, was proposed to facilitate the effective detection of liver lesions.
We present Multiscale Vision Transformers (MViT) for video and image recognition, by connecting the seminal idea of multiscale feature hierarchies with transformer models. Multiscale Transformers have several channel-resolution scale stages. Starting
from the input resolution and a small channel dimension, the stages hierarchically expand the channel capacity while reducing the spatial resolution. This creates a multiscale pyramid of features with early layers operating at high spatial resolution to model simple low-level visual information, and deeper layers at spatially coarse, but complex, high-dimensional features. We evaluate this fundamental architectural prior for modeling the dense nature of visual signals for a variety of video recognition tasks where it outperforms concurrent vision transformers that rely on large scale external pre-training and are 5-10x more costly in computation and parameters. We further remove the temporal dimension and apply our model for image classification where it outperforms prior work on vision transformers.

Attention-based neural networks such as the Vision Transformer (ViT) have recently attained state-of-the-art results on many computer vision benchmarks. Scale is a primary ingredient in attaining excellent results, therefore, understanding a models s
caling properties is a key to designing future generations effectively. While the laws for scaling Transformer language models have been studied, it is unknown how Vision Transformers scale. To address this, we scale ViT models and data, both up and down, and characterize the relationships between error rate, data, and compute. Along the way, we refine the architecture and training of ViT, reducing memory consumption and increasing accuracy the resulting models. As a result, we successfully train a ViT model with two billion parameters, which attains a new state-of-the-art on ImageNet of 90.45% top-1 accuracy. The model also performs well on few-shot learning, for example, attaining 84.86% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet with only 10 examples per class.
