OmniFocus: Query-Guided Modality-Balanced Token Compression for Omni-Modal Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost.

Omni2LoRA: Coherence-Preserving Parametric Memory for Efficient Omni Language Models

Omnimodal language models (OLMs) enable unified audio-visual understanding, but processing long joint token sequences makes inference computationally prohibitive. While recent token compression methods attempt to alleviate this burden, compressing modalities in isolation often destroys the temporal cross-modal anchors necessary for coherent reasoning.

MWOP: Modality-aware Width-wise Operation Pruning for Efficient MLLMs

MWOP (Modality-aware Width-wise Operation Pruning) is a method that independently prunes visual‑to‑visual, text‑to‑visual, and text‑to‑text attention paths within each layer of multimodal large language models, and separately selects feed‑forward network channels for visual and textual inputs. It uses a first‑order Taylor criterion to guide pruning, re‑evaluates FFN importance after attention pruning, and applies LoRA‑based recovery training. The approach is paired with path‑sparse Triton attention kernels and compact visual‑side FFN execution to achieve practical acceleration, preserving token sequences while reducing computation. "whyItMatters":"MWOP achieves a 1.6× prefill speedup on LLaVA‑OneVision‑7B while retaining 99.7% performance, and further boosts token‑compression methods to 2.9× and 2.7× speedups, demonstrating its effectiveness across architectures."

Omni-Interactive Universal Embedder

The paper introduces Omni-Interactive Universal Embedder (OmniUE), a unified embedding framework that learns a single representation space for text, video, and audio using learnable tokens and intermediate-layer representations. OmniUE supports omni-interactive querying, allowing users to input text, visual regions, or audio spans, which are processed by segmenters and an omni-LLM to generate user-conditioned embeddings. The authors evaluate OmniUE on the new OmniCHOIR benchmark and other multimodal tasks, reporting significant performance gains over state‑of‑the‑art baselines across textual, audio, and visual interactive settings.
