# Ge²mS-T: Multi-Dimensional Grouping for Ultra-High Energy Efficiency in Spiking Transformer
基于论文 "Ge²mS-T: Multi-Dimensional Grouping for Ultra-High Energy Efficiency in Spiking Transformer" (arXiv:2604.08894, 2026) 的高效脉冲视觉Transformer方法论。
## 核心挑战
### S-ViT 的三角困境
脉冲视觉Transformer面临三大限制无法同时优化:
- **内存开销**:时空反向传播(STBP)的高内存需求
- **学习能力**:ANN-SNN转换的性能损失
- **能耗预算**:注意力机制的高计算成本
### 现有方法局限
| 方法 | 内存 | 准确率 | 能耗 |
|------|------|--------|------|
| ANN-SNN转换 | ✓ 低 | ✗ 有损失 | ✓ 低 |
| STBP | ✗ 高 | ✓ 高 | ✗ 高 |
| Ge²mS-T (本文) | ✓ 低 | ✓ 高 | ✓ 极低 |
