Vi-T in Flax

A very basic implementtation of Vi-T paper using Flax neural network framework. The main goal of this one is to learn the device-agnostic framework, not get the best results. All results are collected in wandb.sweep using a small custom logger wrapper.

Architecture and some implementation details

Architecture of the model is only suitable for classification tasks

• Used Adam optimizer with cosine schedule of rate learning and gradient clipping;
• Used MultiHead self-attention with n = 8 heads and hidden dimension of 768;
• Implemented learnable and sinusoid positional embeddings but used the former;
