Apple researchers have developed LensVLM, a new framework and post-training method designed to improve the accuracy of Vision Language Models (VLMs) when processing compressed text images. LensVLM works by selectively expanding only the relevant parts of a compressed image to its uncompressed form, rather than processing the entire image at a lower resolution. This approach allows VLMs to maintain high accuracy even at significant compression levels, outperforming other compression methods on text QA benchmarks and generalizing to multimodal document and code understanding tasks.
