Rethinking Vision Transformer Depth via Structural Reparameterization
Chengwei Zhou, Vipin Chaudhary, Gourav Datta
The computational overhead of Vision Transformers in practice stems fundamentally from their deep architectures, yet existing acceleration strategies have primarily targeted algori…
Learning Scalable Temporal Representations in Spiking Neural Networks Without Labels
Chengwei Zhou, Gourav Datta
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) exhibit temporal, sparse, and event-driven dynamics that make them appealing for efficient inference. However, extending these models to self-supervi…
BladderFormer: A Streaming Transformer for Real-Time Urological State Monitoring
Chengwei Zhou, Steve Majerus, Gourav Datta
Bladder pressure monitoring systems are increasingly vital in diagnosing and managing urinary tract dysfunction. Existing solutions rely heavily on hand-crafted features and shallo…
