# Self-supervised ResNet-50 model with SimPool
ResNet-50 model with SimPool (gamma=2.0) trained on ImageNet-1k for 100 epochs. Self-supervision with [DINO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14294).
SimPool is a simple attention-based pooling method at the end of network, introduced on this ICCV 2023 [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.06891.pdf) and released in this [repository](https://github.com/billpsomas/simpool/).
Disclaimer: This model card is written by the author of SimPool, i.e. [Bill Psomas](http://users.ntua.gr/psomasbill/).
## Motivation
Convolutional networks and vision transformers have different forms of pairwise interactions, pooling across layers and pooling at the end of the network. Does the latter really need to be different?
As a by-product of pooling, vision transformers provide spatial attention for free, but this is most often of low quality unless self-supervised, which is not well studied. Is supervision really the problem?
## Method
SimPool is a simple attention-based pooling mechanism as a replacement of the default one for both convolutional and transformer encoders. For transformers, we completely discard the [CLS] token.
Interestingly, we find that, whether supervised or self-supervised, SimPool improves performance on pre-training and downstream tasks and provides attention maps delineating object boundaries in all cases.
One could thus call SimPool universal.
