LDDR framework optimizes video frame sampling for MLLMs

Researchers have introduced LDDR, a novel framework for sampling frames from videos to optimize input for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). LDDR employs a query-aware Determinantal Point Process (DPP) to select frames efficiently, achieving a 3x speedup over standard DPP methods. The framework also incorporates a Group DPP importance score to dynamically allocate token budgets, prioritizing informative frames and downscaling less relevant ones. LDDR has demonstrated significant gains on video benchmarks, improving performance by up to 2.5 points in low-budget settings and 1.6 points in high-budget scenarios across various MLLM families. AI

IMPACT Improves efficiency and performance of video understanding in MLLMs by optimizing frame selection and token allocation.

    LDDR: Linear-DPP Dynamic-Resolution Frame Sampling for Video MLLMs

    arXiv:2605.11477v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models, when used for long video understanding, require selecting an informative frame set from massive and redundant candidates. Limited by the model's visual-token budget and reasoning ability, frame …
