Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.

ProCAP introduces a probabilistic cross-attentive prompt learning framework for vision-language models like CLIP, enabling improved cross-modal interaction without updating the backbone. It jointly learns visual and textual prompt tokens, linking them via stacked bidirectional multi-head cross-attention to refine each branch across prompt depth. The method incorporates Gaussian parameterization of prompt tokens, lightweight KL and L2 regularization, and a compact symmetric InfoNCE head to align image features with class-level text representations, achieving strong few-shot base-to-novel performance and competitive transfer results across multiple datasets and benchmarks.

The paper investigates how attention sparsity behaves in autoregressive image generation, finding a distinct diagonal sparsity pattern due to spatial locality of visual tokens. It introduces a diagonal‑aware sparse attention mechanism that skips KV entries along the diagonal within a recent window, achieving up to 3.1× higher throughput and 1.19× lower latency with less than 2% quality loss compared to dense inference.
