DETR2

This is a comprehensive course on vision transformers and their use cases in computer vision. You’ll begin by exploring the rise of transformers and attention mechanisms and their role in deep neural networks. 
You’ll gain insights into self-attention mechanisms, multi-head attention, and the pros and cons of transformers building a strong foundation. Next, you’ll discover how transformers reshape image analysis. Comparing self-attention with convolutional encoders and understanding spatial vs. channel vs. temporal attention, you’ll grasp nuances in applying transformer architectures to visual data. 

The course also explores spatiotemporal transformers, bridging the gap between static images and dynamic data. After completing this course, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to leverage transformer networks across diverse applications in deep learning and artificial intelligence.
