When Token Compression Breaks: Structural Pruning vs. Token Reduction for Robust ViT Segmentation under High Compression
Tien-Phat Nguyen, Ngai-Man Cheung
Vision Transformers (ViTs) are strong backbones for semantic segmentation, but their computational cost limits deployment. Recent token compression methods for efficient transformer-based segmentation reduce this cost by decreasing the number of tokens. However, existing evaluati…
