Stronger ViTs With Octic Equivariance

David Nordström, Johan Edstedt, Fredrik Kahl, Georg Bökman

Pre-printarXiv:2505.15441

Introducing octic-equivariant Vision Transformers, achieving 40% FLOPs reduction while improving both classification and segmentation performance for DeiT III and DINOv2.

Flopping for FLOPs: Leveraging equivariance for computational efficiency

Georg Bökman, David Nordström, Fredrik Kahl

ICML 2025 Spotlight PaperarXiv:2502.05169

We show that building flopping-equivariance into modern vision architectures reduces the number of FLOPs and increases performance.
