Vision-language models exhibit remarkable zero-shot capabilities but suffer significant performance degradation under distribution shifts. While test-time adaptation (TTA) via Low-Rank Adaptation offers a parameter-efficient solution, we identify a fundamental bottleneck in current methods: the reliance on static rank configurations.
arXiv:2607. 09757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a cornerstone of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT); however, the conventional practice of uniform rank assignment ignores the functional heterogeneity of neural layers.

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.
