A new framework called M$^3$Prune has been developed to improve the efficiency of multi-modal retrieval-augmented generation (mRAG) systems. This framework addresses the high token overhead and computational costs associated with multi-agent mRAG by pruning redundant communication pathways. M$^3$Prune first sparsifies textual and visual modalities independently, then constructs a dynamic inter-modal communication topology, and finally prunes further to create an efficient, hierarchical structure. Experiments show that M$^3$Prune outperforms both single-agent and other multi-agent mRAG systems while significantly reducing token consumption. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient deployment of multi-modal AI agents, reducing computational costs and token usage.
