  • Publication number: 20220215654
    Abstract: A system implemented as computer programs on one or more computers in one or more locations that implements a computer vision model is described. The computer vision model includes a positional local self-attention layer that is configured to receive an input feature map and to generate an output feature map. For each input element in the input feature map, the positional local self-attention layer generates a respective output element for the output feature map by generating a memory block including neighboring input elements around the input element, generates a query vector using the input element and a query weight matrix, for each neighboring element in the memory block, performs positional local self-attention operations to generate a temporary output element, and generates the respective output element by summing temporary output elements of the neighboring elements in the memory block.
