GridProbe cuts VLM compute cost for long videos

Researchers have developed GridProbe, a novel method to improve the efficiency of long-video Visual Language Models (VLMs). This technique adaptively selects relevant frames during inference, reducing the computational cost associated with processing thousands of frames. GridProbe achieves this by probing frame importance in the answer space, allowing for a dynamic adjustment of the number of frames processed based on question difficulty without sacrificing accuracy.

    GridProbe: Posterior-Probing for Adaptive Test-Time Compute in Long-Video VLMs

    Long-video understanding in VLMs is bottlenecked by a single monolithic forward pass over thousands of frames at quadratic attention cost. A common mitigation is to first select a small subset of informative frames before the forward pass; common for training-free selectors via a…
