Researchers have developed LookThere, a novel framework that uses reinforcement learning to enable vision transformers to process only the most relevant image tokens. This approach significantly reduces computational load by training a separate input selector and representation extractor, allowing the model to learn where to focus and what to see without relying on heuristics. LookThere demonstrates impressive efficiency, maintaining accuracy with as little as 0.2% of input tokens, and shows strong generalization across various computer vision tasks including classification, segmentation, and regression.
