+
+
+<img src="./images/patch_merger.png" width="400px"></img>
+
+This <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.12015">paper</a> proposes a simple module (Patch Merger) for reducing the number of tokens at any layer of a vision transformer without sacrificing performance.
+
+```python
+import torch
+from vit_pytorch.vit_with_patch_merger import ViT
+
+v = ViT(
+    image_size = 256,
+    patch_size = 16,
+    num_classes = 1000,
+    dim = 1024,
+    depth = 12,
+    heads = 8,
+    patch_merge_layer = 6,        # at which transformer layer to do patch merging
+    patch_merge_num_tokens = 8,   # the output number of tokens from the patch merge
+    mlp_dim = 2048,
+    dropout = 0.1,
+    emb_dropout = 0.1
+)
+
+img = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256)
+
+preds = v(img) # (4, 1000)
+```
+
+One can also use the `PatchMerger` module by itself
+
+```python
+import torch
+from vit_pytorch.vit_with_patch_merger import PatchMerger
+
+merger = PatchMerger(
+    dim = 1024,
+    num_tokens_out = 8   # output number of tokens
+)
+
+features = torch.randn(4, 256, 1024) # (batch, num tokens, dimension)
+
+out = merger(features) # (4, 8, 1024)
 ```
