contents Transformers have achieved promising results on a variety of tasks. However, the quadratic complexity in self-attention computation has limited the applications, especially in low-resource settings and mobile or edge devices. Existing works have proposed to exploit hand-crafted attention patterns to reduce computation complexity. However, such hand-crafted patterns are data-agnostic and may not be optimal. Hence, it is likely that relevant keys or values are being reduced, while less important ones are still preserved. Based on this key insight, we propose a novel deformable audio Transformer for audio recognition, named DATAR, where a deformable attention equipping with a pyramid transformer backbone is constructed and learnable. Such an architecture has been proven effective in prediction tasks,~\textit{e.g.}, event classification. Moreover, we identify that the deformable attention map computation may over-simplify the input feature, which can be further enhanced. Hence, we introduce a learnable input adaptor to alleviate this issue, and DATAR achieves state-of-the-art performance.
