# What does this PR do?

This updates the top-level readme files say the project has been tested with Python 3.8+ (instead of 3.7+) and PyTorch 1.10+ (instead of 1.9+). Versions prior to those are no longer supported as of [v4.31.0](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/releases/tag/v4.31.0). It also updates some other versions in those lists, that had become out of date earlier. The non-English readme files were less up to date than the English readme file `README.md`.

I allowed my editor to remove trailing whitespace, since it does not appear to have been intentional. Rendered Markdown does not appear changed. After editing all seven READMEs, running `make fix-copies` (required to pass CI) propagated this whitespace removal to (just) one of the `index.md` files, which is why that is also changed. However, I understand if whitespace removal may be viewed as best done separately; if requested, I'd be pleased to modify this PR to retain the trailing whitespace.

## Rationale

My reasoning is similar as the reasoning that was given for the previous update to these versions in #24307. As of [**v4.31.0**](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/releases/tag/v4.31.0), 🤗 Transformers has dropped support for Python 3.7 (#24091) and for PyTorch 1.9 (#24080). Because of that:

- If the version ranges noted in the readme files are not changed, some users are likely to be mislead into expecting new releases of 🤗 Transformers to support those versions.
- A lesser issue is that the claim that this repository is tested on all those versions will gradually become inaccurate as further contributions are made to the repository, now that those versions are not supported.

# Dilated Neighborhood Attention Transformer

## Overview

DiNAT was proposed in [Dilated Neighborhood Attention Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.15001)
by Ali Hassani and Humphrey Shi.

It extends [NAT](nat) by adding a Dilated Neighborhood Attention pattern to capture global context,
and shows significant performance improvements over it.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Transformers are quickly becoming one of the most heavily applied deep learning architectures across modalities,
domains, and tasks. In vision, on top of ongoing efforts into plain transformers, hierarchical transformers have
also gained significant attention, thanks to their performance and easy integration into existing frameworks.
These models typically employ localized attention mechanisms, such as the sliding-window Neighborhood Attention (NA)
or Swin Transformer's Shifted Window Self Attention. While effective at reducing self attention's quadratic complexity,
local attention weakens two of the most desirable properties of self attention: long range inter-dependency modeling,
and global receptive field. In this paper, we introduce Dilated Neighborhood Attention (DiNA), a natural, flexible and
efficient extension to NA that can capture more global context and expand receptive fields exponentially at no
additional cost. NA's local attention and DiNA's sparse global attention complement each other, and therefore we
introduce Dilated Neighborhood Attention Transformer (DiNAT), a new hierarchical vision transformer built upon both.
DiNAT variants enjoy significant improvements over strong baselines such as NAT, Swin, and ConvNeXt.
Our large model is faster and ahead of its Swin counterpart by 1.5% box AP in COCO object detection,
1.3% mask AP in COCO instance segmentation, and 1.1% mIoU in ADE20K semantic segmentation.
Paired with new frameworks, our large variant is the new state of the art panoptic segmentation model on COCO (58.2 PQ)
and ADE20K (48.5 PQ), and instance segmentation model on Cityscapes (44.5 AP) and ADE20K (35.4 AP) (no extra data).
It also matches the state of the art specialized semantic segmentation models on ADE20K (58.2 mIoU),
and ranks second on Cityscapes (84.5 mIoU) (no extra data). *

Tips:
- One can use the [`AutoImageProcessor`] API to prepare images for the model.
- DiNAT can be used as a *backbone*. When `output_hidden_states = True`,
it will output both `hidden_states` and `reshaped_hidden_states`. The `reshaped_hidden_states` have a shape of `(batch, num_channels, height, width)` rather than `(batch_size, height, width, num_channels)`.

Notes:
- DiNAT depends on [NATTEN](https://github.com/SHI-Labs/NATTEN/)'s implementation of Neighborhood Attention and Dilated Neighborhood Attention.
You can install it with pre-built wheels for Linux by referring to [shi-labs.com/natten](https://shi-labs.com/natten), or build on your system by running `pip install natten`.
Note that the latter will likely take time to compile. NATTEN does not support Windows devices yet.
- Patch size of 4 is only supported at the moment.
