Weakly supervised vision transformer

Weakly Supervised Vision Transformer (WS-ViT) trains a Vision Transformer on image data that lacks precise pixel-level annotations, instead using cheaper, noisier supervision such as image-level class tags, bounding boxes, or web-scraped text. The global self-attention mechanism of the transformer makes it especially capable of localising objects and learning discriminative features from these incomplete labels.
