Abstract
Research Background: Transformers, initially developed for natural language processing (NLP), gained prominence with their effective handling of arbitrarily long sequential data through a sequence-to-sequence model. Their self-attention mechanism, a core component, demonstrated remarkable success beyond NLP and significantly impacted computer vision. This led to the innovative adaptation of transformers in visual contexts, culminating in the creation of Vision Transformers (ViTs). ViTs revolutionized image processing by treating images as sequences of patches, applying self-attention mechanisms directly to pixels. This Paper's Contributions: This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the evolution of transformers in image processing, tracing the journey from initial experiments in training transformers on images to the latest advancements in hierarchical architectures and multi-scale ViTs. This survey not only highlights the superior performance and flexibility of ViTs across various computer vision tasks but also discusses their promising applications in diverse fields such as medical imaging and robotics. This review underscores the transformative impact of ViTs and outlines potential future directions in this dynamic field.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
