The paper presented at the 2022 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) details a newly proposed architecture that adopts the design principles of Swin Transformers but replaces them with convolutions to achieve superior performance. In essence, the authors propose a Convolutional Neural Network (ConvNet) architecture that outperforms Swin Transformers while still following the underlying design principles.
