Research on Patch Attentive Neural Process

Abstract

Attentive Neural Process (ANP) improves the fitting ability of Neural Process (NP) and improves its prediction accuracy, but the higher time complexity of the model imposes a limitation on the length of the input sequence. Inspired by models such as Vision Transformer (ViT) and Masked Auto-Encoder (MAE), we propose Patch Attentive Neural Process (PANP) using image patches as input and improve the structure of deterministic paths based on ANP, which allows the model to extract image features more accurately and efficiently reconstruction.
