This is the official implementation of our [Focal Transformer -- "Focal Self-attention for Local-Global Interactions in Vision Transformers"](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.00641.pdf),
by Jianwei Yang, Chunyuan Li, Pengchuan Zhang, Xiyang Dai, Bin Xiao, Lu Yuan and Jianfeng Gao.

## Introduction

![focal-transformer-teaser](figures/focal-transformer-teaser.png)

Our Focal Transfomer introduced a new self-attention mechanism called **focal self-attention** for vision transformers.
In this new mechanism, **each token attends the closest surrounding tokens at fine granularity but the tokens far away at coarse granularity**,
and thus can capture both short- and long-range visual dependencies efficiently and effectively.

With our Focal Transformers, we achieved superior performance over the state-of-the-art vision Transformers on a range of public benchmarks.
In particular, our Focal Transformer models with a moderate size of 51.1M and a larger size of 89.8M achieve `83.6 and 84.0` Top-1 accuracy, respectively,
on ImageNet classification at 224x224 resolution.
Using Focal Transformers as the backbones, we obtain consistent and substantial improvements over the current state-of-the-art methods
for 6 different object detection methods trained with standard 1x and 3x schedules.
Our largest Focal Transformer yields `58.7/58.9 box mAPs` and `50.9/51.3 mask mAPs` on COCO mini-val/test-dev,
and `55.4 mIoU` on ADE20K for semantic segmentation.

## Next Generation Architecture

We had developed [FocalNet](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11926), a next generation of architecture built based on the focal mechanism. It is much faster and more effective. Check it out at: [https://github.com/microsoft/FocalNet](https://github.com/microsoft/FocalNet)!

## Faster Focal Transformer

As you may notice, though the theoritical GFLOPs of our Focal Transformer is comparable to prior works, its wall-clock efficiency lags behind. Therefore, we are releasing a faster version of Focal Transformer, which discard all the rolling and unfolding operations used in our first version.
