# Transformer2D

A Transformer model for image-like data from [CompVis](https://huggingface.co/CompVis) that is based on the [Vision Transformer](https://huggingface.co/papers/2010.11929) introduced by Dosovitskiy et al. The [`Transformer2DModel`] accepts discrete (classes of vector embeddings) or continuous (actual embeddings) inputs.

When the input is **continuous**:

1. Project the input and reshape it to `(batch_size, sequence_length, feature_dimension)`.
2. Apply the Transformer blocks in the standard way.
3. Reshape to image.

When the input is **discrete**:

<Tip>

It is assumed one of the input classes is the masked latent pixel. The predicted classes of the unnoised image don't contain a prediction for the masked pixel because the unnoised image cannot be masked.

</Tip>

1. Convert input (classes of latent pixels) to embeddings and apply positional embeddings.
2. Apply the Transformer blocks in the standard way.
3. Predict classes of unnoised image.
