Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Sample-Adaptive Strategy Routing for Vision Token Pruning in MLLMs
TL;DR
VIP-Router is a novel adaptive pruning strategy for visual tokens in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that selects the best pruning method for each input. It achieves a 26.9% improvement in average accuracy over fixed strategies while maintaining low computational overhead.
✦ Why It Matters
Implement VIP-Router in your MLLM projects to enhance visual token efficiency and accuracy today.
Key Takeaways
- Adopt VIP-Router for adaptive pruning in MLLMs.
- Evaluate pruning strategies based on individual sample performance.
- Integrate VIP-Router with minimal additional parameters.
- Test VIP-Router across different MLLM architectures.
How It Works
VIP-Router utilizes low-cost visual and textual features to determine the most effective pruning strategy for each input. By analyzing these features, it can select a strategy that optimally balances accuracy and computational cost, allowing for dynamic adjustments rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
