Look and Think: Efficient Multimodal Reasoning via Modality-Decoupled Compression (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multimodal large language models have strong performance on visual question answering benchmarks . however, their inference efficiency is severely constrained by the rapidly growing context . |
| Approach: | They propose a modality-decoupled compression method that enables efficient multimodal inference . they propose to evict visual tokens whenever visual grounding is unnecessary . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces the average context length by up to 57% while maintaining comparable performance to the standard MLLM baseline. |
