| Challenge: | Recent studies have evaluated and shown limitations in specific capabilities such as visual understanding, but a systematic evaluation of VLMs’ fundamental WM abilities remains absent. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that assesses perception and prediction to provide an atomic evaluation of VLMs as WMs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework assesses perception and prediction abilities on 15 latest VLMs and compares them to human-level models. |
Mask Tokens as Prophet: Fine-Grained Cache Eviction for Efficient dLLM Inference (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing cache eviction strategies for autoregressive language models fail to account for the role of mask tokens and specific characteristics in dLLMs. |
| Approach: | They propose a training-free cache eviction framework tailored to dLLMs that denies a fully masked sequence and allows parallel decoding at the expense of memory and computation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework reduces the cost of memory and cache eviction and improves efficiency by reducing allocation in intermediate layers and concentrating resources on prompt-preferring heads. |
