Latent Noise Mask for Reducing Visual Redundancy in Multimodal Large Language Models
Kai Jiang, Ruishu Zhu, Siqi Huang, Hongyuan Zhang, Xuelong Li
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) often fail in fine-grained visual reasoning, as question-relevant visual cues are diluted by dense and redundant image tokens. Recent multimodal reasoning methods usually extend chain-of-thought from language models into visual or latent s…
