Balancing Image Compression and Generation with Bootstrapped Tokenization

arXiv:2606. 05552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite progress in image tokenization, standard methods encode redundant information by mixing all granularities within each token, thus redundancy persists between tokens.

LUMI: Tokenizer-Agnostic LLM-Based Lossless Image Compression

Large language model (LLM)-based lossless image compression methods typically represent pixel data through the native text interface of a pretrained model, converting pixel values into token sequences that the LLM processes through its vocabulary head. This design shows that pretrained language models can provide probability estimates for image coding, but it also couples compression to tokenizer behavior, vocabulary-specific numeric tokens, and model-family-specific adaptation.

CRAFT: Compression via Recursive Adaptive Fusion of Video Tokens for Vision-Language Models

In video understanding, vision-language models (VLMs) must ingest massive numbers of visual tokens, causing the computational and memory cost of the prefill stage to rise sharply. Such visual sequences are highly redundant along the spatio-temporal dimension, yet a high compression ratio is often accompanied by the loss of critical details.
