Visual Token Compression Enhances Robustness of MLLMs

arXiv:2607. 22716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we show for the first time that visual token pruning enhances the robustness of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), mitigating vulnerabilities such as jailbreak attacks and hallucinations.

When the Prompt Becomes Visual: Vision-Centric Jailbreak Attacks for Large Image Editing Models

arXiv:2602. 10179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in large image editing models have shifted the paradigm from text-driven instructions to vision-prompt editing, where user intent is inferred directly from visual inputs such as marks, arrows, and visual-text prompts.

TOPS: First-Principles Visual Token Pruning via Constructing Token Optimal Preservation Sets for Efficient MLLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 27161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved strong multimodal reasoning capabilities, but their efficiency is limited by the large number of visual tokens, which introduces substantial computational overhead.

AEGIS: A Mechanism-Guided Defense against Visual Synonym Jailbreaks in Text-to-Image Models

Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved high visual fidelity and broad adoption, but remain vulnerable to safety violations when adversaries exploit them to synthesize illicit content. Existing alignment paradigms, from input sanitization to structural feature pruning, are largely organized around unsafe concepts explicitly exposed during filtering, editing, or localization.
