With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for vector determination based on self-attention mechanism fusion context information is shown, comprising the steps of:
step 201, determining a key vector, a query vector and a value vector of a feature point in a feature map.
In this embodiment, an executing subject (e.g., the server in fig. 1) of the vector determination method based on the self-attention mechanism fused context information may determine a key vector (key), a query vector (query), and a value vector (value) of a feature point in a feature map.
The image to be recognized represented by the feature map is an image to be subjected to a machine vision recognition task, and the machine vision recognition task comprises but is not limited to image recognition, object detection, semantic segmentation and the like. Accordingly, any content may be included in the image to be recognized.
As an example, the execution body may obtain a key vector, a query vector, and a value vector corresponding to each feature point by applying a conversion matrix corresponding to the key vector, the query vector, and the value vector, respectively, to feature vectors of feature points in the feature map.
As yet another example, the execution subject may determine a feature vector of a feature point in the feature map as one or more of a key vector, a query vector, and a value vector corresponding to the feature point. Specifically, the executing body may determine the feature vector of the feature point in the feature map as the key vector and the query vector corresponding to the feature point, and obtain the value vector corresponding to the feature point by applying a transformation matrix corresponding to the value vector to the feature vector of the feature point in the feature map.
Step 202, performing convolution operation on the key vectors of the feature points in the feature map by using a convolution kernel with a preset size to obtain a first-order context key vector of the context information of the fused feature points.
In this embodiment, the execution main body may perform convolution operation on the key vectors of the feature points in the feature map by using a convolution kernel with a preset size, so as to obtain a first-order context key vector of the context information of the fusion feature point.
The preset size may be specifically set according to actual conditions (e.g., the calculation amount of the convolution process, the range of the context information of the feature points to be fused). For example, the preset size is 3 × 3. It is understood that the term context information refers to the field of natural language processing, and in the field of machine vision recognition, the term context information may be specifically understood as feature information of feature points located around feature points.
And the key vector corresponding to each feature point can form a key vector matrix. For each feature point in the feature map, the execution subject may perform convolution operation through a convolution kernel of a preset size to obtain a first-order context key vector of context information represented by the key vector of the feature point in the receptive field of the convolution operation corresponding to the feature point. Wherein, in the receptive field corresponding to the characteristic point, the characteristic point is at the central position.
Taking the size of the convolution kernel of the convolution operation as 3 × 3 as an example, the execution body performs convolution operation on the key vectors corresponding to the feature points (the number of the feature points is 3 × 3 — 9) included in the key vector matrix in the sense field corresponding to each convolution operation, so as to obtain the first-order context key vector corresponding to the feature point located at the central position of the sense field.
And 203, obtaining a query vector and a value vector corresponding to the receptive field of the convolution operation of the first-order context key vector according to the first-order context key vector to obtain a second-order context key vector.
In this embodiment, the execution body may obtain the second-order context key vector according to the first-order context key vector, and the query vector and the value vector corresponding to the receptive field of the convolution operation of the first-order context key vector.
The query vector and the value vector corresponding to the receptive field of the convolution operation of the first-order context key vector are obtained, and may be the query vector and the value vector corresponding to the feature point in the receptive field.
As an example, the execution subject may obtain the second-order context key vector through operations such as vector concatenation and multiplication between the first-order context key vector and the query vector and the value vector corresponding to the receptive field of the convolution operation for obtaining the first-order context key vector.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the executing main body may execute the step 203 by:
firstly, splicing the first-order context key vector and the target query vector to obtain a spliced vector.
And the target query vector is characterized to obtain the query vector of the feature point at the central position in the receptive field of the convolution operation of the first-order context key vector.
The first-order context key vector corresponds to the feature point at the central position of the receptive field of the convolution operation for obtaining the first-order context key vector, the target query vector also corresponds to the feature point at the central position in the receptive field of the convolution operation for obtaining the first-order context key vector, and the corresponding first-order context key vector and the target query vector are spliced to obtain a spliced vector corresponding to the feature point. It can be understood that, for each feature point in the feature map, the above determination process of the stitching vector is performed, and a stitching vector corresponding to each feature point can be obtained.
And secondly, obtaining a second-order context key vector according to the splicing vector and the value vector of the feature point in the receptive field of the convolution operation for obtaining the first-order context key vector.
As an example, the execution agent may obtain an attention matrix representing attention to context information in the receptive field by concatenating vectors, and further perform a multiplication operation according to the attention matrix and a value vector of a feature point in the receptive field of a convolution operation for obtaining a first-order context key vector, to obtain a second-order context key vector.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the executing body may execute the second step by:
first, a plurality of convolution operations are performed on the spliced vectors to obtain an attention matrix.
As an example, the above-described execution subject may derive the attention matrix based on two convolution operations with a convolution kernel of 1 × 1. Wherein the first convolution operation of the two convolution operations has an activation function, for example, a ReLU activation function, and the second convolution operation has no activation function.
Then, a second-order context key vector is obtained based on a local matrix multiplication operation between the value vector of the feature point in the receptive field and the attention matrix.
The corresponding size of the local matrix may be specifically set according to an actual situation, and is not limited herein.
In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, a corresponding size of the local matrix in the local matrix multiplication operation is the same as a preset size.
And 204, fusing the first-order context key vector and the second-order context key vector to determine a target vector.
In this embodiment, the execution body may fuse the first-order context key vector and the second-order context key vector to determine the target vector.
With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram 300 of an application scenario of the vector determination method based on the self-attention mechanism fusion context information according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, the server 301 first obtains a feature map 303 from the terminal device 302. The server 301 then determines the key vectors, query vectors and value vectors for the feature points in the feature map 303. Then, a convolution kernel with a preset size of 3 × 3 is used to perform convolution operation on the key vectors of the feature points in the feature map 303, so as to obtain a first-order context key vector 304 of the context information of the fused feature points. Then, according to the first-order context key vector 304, a query vector 305 and a value vector 306 corresponding to the receptive field of the convolution operation of the first-order context key vector are obtained, and a second-order context key vector 307 is obtained; the first order context key vector 304 and the second order context key vector 307 are fused to determine a target vector 308.
In the method provided by the above embodiment of the present application, the key vector, the query vector, and the value vector of the feature point in the feature map are determined; performing convolution operation on key vectors of feature points in the feature map by using a convolution kernel with a preset size to obtain a first-order context key vector of the context information of the fused feature points; obtaining a query vector and a value vector corresponding to a receptive field of convolution operation of the first-order context key vector according to the first-order context key vector to obtain a second-order context key vector; the first-order context key vector and the second-order context key vector are fused to determine the target vector, so that a method for determining the vector fused with the context information based on the self-attention mechanism is provided, and the expression capacity of the target vector is improved; furthermore, a target vector with stronger expression capability can be provided for the machine vision task, and the accuracy of processing the machine vision task is improved.
In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, the self-attentive mechanism is a multi-headed self-attentive mechanism. The execution main body can also determine a target vector corresponding to the multi-head self-attention mechanism according to the target vector corresponding to each head in the multi-head self-attention mechanism.
As an example, target vectors corresponding to the heads are spliced and then subjected to linear transformation to obtain target vectors corresponding to the multi-head self-attention mechanism.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, the executing body may further replace an output vector of a convolution operation in which a convolution kernel in the neural network is a preset size with a finally determined target vector, and process the visual recognition task through the neural network.
In the implementation mode, the output vector of the convolution operation with the convolution kernel in the neural network as the preset size is replaced by the finally determined target vector, so that the neural network can process the visual identification task by using the target vector fusing the context, and the accuracy of the visual identification is improved.
Specifically, the execution body may replace a convolution operation in which a convolution kernel in a neural network for processing a machine vision task is a predetermined size with a network structure in which a target vector is obtained from a key vector, a query vector, and a value vector of a feature point.
With continuing reference to FIG. 4, a schematic flow chart 400 illustrating one embodiment of a method for fusing context information based on a self-attention mechanism in accordance with the present application is shown that includes the steps of:
step 401, determining a key vector, a query vector and a value vector of a feature point in a feature map.
Step 402, performing convolution operation on the key vectors of the feature points in the feature map by using a convolution kernel with a preset size to obtain a first-order context key vector of the context information of the fused feature points.
And 403, splicing the first-order context key vector and the target query vector to obtain a spliced vector.
And the target query vector is characterized to obtain the query vector of the feature point at the central position in the receptive field of the convolution operation of the first-order context key vector.
And step 404, performing convolution operation on the splicing vector for multiple times to obtain an attention matrix.

And 406, fusing the first-order context key vector and the second-order context key vector to determine a target vector.
Step 407, determining a target vector corresponding to the multi-head self-attention mechanism according to the target vector corresponding to each head in the multi-head self-attention mechanism.
As an example, as shown in fig. 5, a flow diagram 500 of a multi-headed autofocusing mechanism to obtain a target vector is shown. The feature vectors of the feature points in the feature map X are determined as the key vectors and query vectors corresponding to the feature points, and the value vectors corresponding to the feature points are obtained by acting the conversion matrix corresponding to the value vectors on the feature vectors of the feature points in the feature map X.
Firstly, a K multiplied by K convolution operation is acted on a feature map X with the size of H multiplied by W multiplied by C to obtain a feature map corresponding to a first-order context key vector with the size of H multiplied by W multiplied by C, and then the feature map corresponding to the first-order context key vector and the feature map corresponding to a query vector are processedSplicing (Concat) to obtain a splicing characteristic diagram with the size of H multiplied by W multiplied by 2C; then, the stitched feature map is subjected to a convolution operation θ of 1 × 01 to obtain a feature map of size H × W × D, and further subjected to a convolution operation δ of 1 × 1 to obtain a feature map of size H × W × C (K × C)H) The characteristic diagram of (1). Wherein, CHThe number of heads for a multi-head self-attention mechanism. Then, the obtained size was H × W × (K × K × C)H) And performing local matrix multiplication on the feature graph corresponding to the value vector, taking the operation result as a feature graph corresponding to a second-order context key vector, and fusing (Fusion) the feature graph corresponding to the first-order context key vector to obtain a feature graph Y corresponding to the target vector.
And step 408, replacing the output vector of the convolution operation with the convolution kernel in the neural network as the preset size with the finally determined target vector, and processing the visual identification task through the neural network.
