Abstract
A sequence of patch tokens representing an image can be received. A network can be trained to learn informative patch tokens and uninformative patch tokens in the sequence of patch tokens, in learning to recognize an object in the image. The sequence of patch tokens can be reduced by removing the uninformative patch tokens from the sequence of patch tokens. The reduced sequence of patch tokens can be input to an attention-based deep learning neural network. The attention-based deep learning neural network can be fine-tuned to recognize the object in the image using the reduced sequence of patch tokens.
