Visual-Noise Guided In-Context Distillation for Multimodal Large Language Model Unlearning

arXiv:2606. 00105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress on vision-language tasks, but they may also memorize and expose sensitive or restricted knowledge, raising concerns about privacy and broader safety risks.

Perception Before Supervision: Self-Contained Visual Distillation from Counterfactual Blind Spots

Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.

Does Forgetting Transfer Across Modalities? A Real-World Benchmark for Cross-Modal Knowledge Unlearning Evaluation

arXiv:2608. 03791v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs), like Large Language Models (LLMs), may memorize sensitive, copyrighted, or harmful knowledge from their pretraining corpora.

DeltaPrompts: Escaping the Zero-Delta Trap in Multimodal Distillation

arXiv:2605. 15532v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distillation enables compact Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to obtain strong reasoning capabilities, yet the prompts driving this process are typically chosen via simple heuristics or aggregated from off-the-shelf datasets.
