+## EsViT
+
+<img src="./images/esvit.png" width="350px"></img>
+
+<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09785">`EsViT`</a> is a variant of Dino (from above) re-engineered to support efficient `ViT`s with patch merging / downsampling by taking into an account an extra regional loss between the augmented views. To quote the abstract, it `outperforms its supervised counterpart on 17 out of 18 datasets` at 3 times higher throughput.
+
+Even though it is named as though it were a new `ViT` variant, it actually is just a strategy for training any multistage `ViT` (in the paper, they focused on Swin). The example below will show how to use it with `CvT`. You'll need to set the `hidden_layer` to the name of the layer within your efficient ViT that outputs the non-average pooled visual representations, just before the global pooling and projection to logits.
