- Stop Looking for “Important Tokens” in Multimodal Language Models: Duplication Matters More (2025 · 44 citations)
Vision tokens make up most of the input to multimodal LLMs, which makes inference expensive. Most training-free pruning methods score each token's "importance" from attention maps and drop the low scorers. The authors argue this approach has four weaknesses. It treats scores as fixed even after other tokens are… - Video Compression Commander: Plug-and-Play Inference Acceleration for Video Large Language Models (2025 · 16 citations)
Video large language models must process very long sequences of visual tokens, because every sampled frame adds hundreds of them. - LED-Merging: Mitigating Safety-Utility Conflicts in Model Merging with Location-Election-Disjoint (2025 · 5 citations)
Combining several fine-tuned LLMs into one through training-free model merging tends to weaken safety. The merged model gains skills such as math or coding but becomes more willing to produce harmful output. The authors trace this to two causes. First, existing methods pick neurons by parameter magnitude, which… - StreamMeCo: Long-Term Agent Memory Compression for Efficient Streaming Video Understanding (2026 · 3 citations)
Agent-based streaming video systems like M3-Agent store what they observe as a memory graph. Text nodes describe visual content, and face and voice nodes represent entities. As videos get longer, the number of text nodes grows sharply, and retrieval latency becomes too high for real-time question answering. - MelTrim: Coarse-to-Fine Data Pruning for Speech Classification (2026)
Data pruning, which means selecting a small coreset that trains models nearly as well as the full dataset, has been studied mostly for images and text.
