📰 ArXiv cs.AI

ARTA is a vision transformer that efficiently extracts dense features using adaptive mixed-resolution token allocation

advanced Published 30 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Start with low-resolution tokens and use a lightweight allocator to predict regions requiring more fine tokens
  2. Iteratively predict semantic boundary scores and allocate additional tokens to patches above a low threshold
  3. Refine token allocation through multiple iterations to achieve efficient dense feature extraction

Title: ARTA: Adaptive Mixed-Resolution Token Allocation for Efficient Dense Feature Extraction

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.26258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present ARTA, a mixed-resolution coarse-to-fine vision transformer for efficient dense feature extraction. Unlike models that begin with dense high-resolution (fine) tokens, ARTA starts with low-resolution (coarse) tokens and uses a lightweight allocator to predict which regions require more fine tokens. The allocator iteratively predicts a semantic (class) boundary score and allocates additional tokens to patches above a low threshold, concen
