arXiv:2608. 06901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable generalization across diverse multimodal tasks through large-scale pre-training, yet their rapidly increasing computational and memory requirements pose significant challenges for deployment in constrained environments.
arXiv:2607. 26596v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities by integrating visual and textual understanding within a unified transformer architecture.
arXiv:2607. 25527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unifying visual understanding and generation in one model holds immense promise, but remains challenging and expensive due to heavy compute and data demands and conflicts between the visual features needed for these two capabilities.
arXiv:2604. 15622v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Always-on contextual AI runs language-aligned vision foundation models (VFMs) on edge devices, where the on-device model is the dominant continuous compute cost under strict latency and power limits.
Dynamic expansion methods for class-incremental learning (CIL) protect task-specific knowledge by growing dedicated tokens or subnetworks, yet our analyses suggest that classification supervision alone does not sufficiently preserve task-agnostic shared backbone representations over long incremental sequences. We identify two intertwined challenges: cross-task confusion from sequential training on predominantly current-task data, which biases decision boundaries toward recent tasks; and under-optimized shared representations in the backbone that cap long-term discriminability as tasks accumulate.
arXiv:2607. 18615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine unlearning for vision-language models (VLMs) remains underexplored.
arXiv:2511. 11421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to continually learn new categories without forgetting previously acquired knowledge.
Machine unlearning for vision-language models (VLMs) remains underexplored. Unlike language models, VLMs combine a language backbone with visual components, which makes unlearning more complex.
arXiv:2608. 13426v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based language models achieve strong performance but incur substantial inference cost due to repeated high-dimensional matrix multiplications.
arXiv:2606. 01503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified vision-language models (VLMs) integrate visual understanding and visual generation within a single autoregressive backbone, but their joint training is computationally expensive and largely overlooked from an efficiency perspective.
arXiv:2607. 22994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Class-incremental learning (CIL) requires models to continuously acquire new knowledge while avoiding catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2510. 20535v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent techniques such as retrieval-augmented generation or chain-of-thought reasoning have led to longer contexts and increased inference costs.
