CRISP framework boosts LVLM efficiency by pruning visual tokens

Researchers have developed CRISP, a novel framework designed to improve the efficiency of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) by pruning visual tokens before they are processed by the language model. This two-stage approach first identifies text-aligned tokens and then enhances contextual completeness, aiming to maintain accuracy while significantly reducing inference costs and latency. Experiments on LLaVA-1.5 and LLaVA-NeXT models show that CRISP can preserve up to 99.5% of accuracy while more than halving inference time, offering a practical solution for resource-constrained environments.

    CRISP: Pre-LLM Yet Text-Driven Visual Token Pruning for Efficient LVLM Inference

    arXiv:2607.16326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) typically require processing hundreds to thousands of visual tokens, leading to substantial inference overhead. Existing visual token pruning methods either operate before the LLM using text-agno…
