arXiv:2606. 02631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies whether audio, images, and video can share a common wavelet token schema rather than relying on separate modality-specific latent grids.

The paper introduces Visual Token Coding (VTC), a token compression method for video multimodal large language models that mimics classical video coding by predicting I/P frames and measuring residuals to reduce token redundancy. VTC is extended with dynamic features—Dynamic Resolution Input, Dynamic Token Allocation, and Spatial Coverage Top‑K—forming VTC_Dy, which can be applied to existing MLLMs without additional tuning. Experiments on three MLLMs and multiple video benchmarks show that VTC_Dy retains over 100% of average performance with a 50% token budget and 97.8% with a 25% budget, while the code is publicly available.

The paper introduces modality‑gated deep adapters, a parameter‑efficient method for adding new modalities to a frozen multimodal embedding language model without altering its existing outputs. These adapters are bottleneck modules attached to each decoder layer, grouped into modality‑specific packs that activate only during encoding of their own modality, ensuring exact preservation of the base model’s computation graph. Experiments on a 2B base model show significant gains in audio‑to‑text and thermal‑to‑text retrieval metrics, and the authors release the audio and thermal packs along with training and evaluation code.
