Constructive Distortion: Improving MLLMs with Attention-Guided Image Warping

The paper introduces AttWarp, a lightweight technique that uses a multimodal large language model’s cross‑modal attention to perform rectilinear warping of input images at test time. By reallocating spatial resolution toward query‑relevant regions without altering model weights or architecture, AttWarp preserves global context while making small objects and subtle relationships easier for the model to read. Experiments on five benchmarks and four MLLMs show consistent accuracy gains, improved compositional reasoning, and reduced hallucinations compared to baseline image‑manipulation methods.

VisCache: Visual KV Cache Pruning for Efficient Vision Large Language Model Inference

VisCache introduces a two-stage, plug‑and‑play framework for pruning visual key‑value caches in Vision Large Language Models without retraining. The first stage filters out temporally redundant keyframes, while the second stage, PruneKV, applies a parabolic layer‑wise budget and asymmetric update to selectively prune keys and fuse values, preserving essential context. Experiments show up to 2.35× speedup and significant memory savings with only 19–28% of the original cache retained, outperforming existing baselines.
