arXiv:2602. 12338v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Token Communications (TokenCom) has recently emerged as an effective new paradigm, where tokens are the unified units of multimodal communications and computations, enabling efficient digital semantic- and goal-oriented communications in future wireless networks.

arXiv:2606. 00324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal LLMs use dedicated encoders to bridge non-language modalities (vision encoders for images, depth models for audio codec tokens) because raw token embeddings alone cannot capture modality-specific structure.

Abundant visual information strengthens vision-language model (VLM) perception, yet massive visual tokens raise inference costs. Existing visual token pruning methods rely on similarity-based guidance, which exploits pairwise text-vision and vision-vision token correlations for compression.
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.

arXiv:2606. 09135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We demonstrate that widely deployed Large Language Model (LLM) inference stacks harbor a steganographic channel that requires no modification to model weights, sampling code, or output distributions.
