Transformer architectures dominate modern NLP but often demand heavy computational resources and intricate hyperparameter tuning. To mitigate these challenges, we propose a novel framework, BoostTransformer, that augments transformers with boosting principles through subgrid token selection and importance-weighted sampling. Our method incorporates a least square boosting objective directly into the transformer pipeline, enabling more efficient training and improved performance. Across multiple fine-grained text classification benchmarks, BoostTransformer demonstrates both faster convergence and higher accuracy, surpassing standard transformers while minimizing architectural search overhead.

The use of satellite imagery combined with deep learning to support automatic landslide detection is becoming increasingly widespread. However, selecting an appropriate deep learning architecture to optimize performance while avoiding overfitting remains a critical challenge. To address these issues, we propose a deep-learning based framework for landslide detection from remote sensing image in this paper. The proposed framework presents an effective combination of the online an offline data augmentation to tackle the imbalanced data, a backbone EfficientNet\_Large deep learning model for extracting robust embedding features, and a post-processing SVM classifier to balance and enhance the classification performance. The proposed model achieved an F1-score of 0.8938 on the public test set of the Zindi challenge.
