Evidence-Driven Dynamic Visual Selector for Efficient Long Video Understanding

Recent advancements in MLLM-based long-form video understanding have mitigated inference-time computational cost and limited context lengths by selecting query-relevant frames. However, existing approaches predominantly rely on external proxy scorers and rigid heuristic rules, inevitably suffering from misalignment with the target MLLM's intrinsic evidence and failing to accommodate the non-uniform spatiotemporal information density.

PACE: A Unified Condense-and-Extract Paradigm for Fast VLM Inference

PACE introduces a training‑free Condense‑and‑Extract framework that speeds up Vision‑Language Model inference by first adaptively downsampling visual inputs before encoding and then selectively retaining essential tokens during decoding. The Adaptive Pixel Compressor (APC) reduces encoder workload while preserving global context, and the Dynamic Dual‑Attention Extractor (DDAE) keeps task‑critical details by fusing visual and language signals. Applied to Qwen2.5‑VL‑7B, PACE maintains 93.8% of performance using only 10% of visual tokens, achieving a 3.1× speedup in time to first token.

Fre-Res: Frequency-Residual Video Token Compression for Efficient Video MLLMs

arXiv:2605. 16366v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Video MLLMs face a persistent tension between spatial fidelity and temporal coverage: preserving fine-grained visual details requires many spatial tokens, while capturing short-lived events requires dense temporal sampling.
