Adaptive Two-Stage Visual Token Pruning for Efficient Inference in Video-Language Models

arXiv:2608. 03112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models excel at image and video understanding but suffer from high inference latency due to the need to process thousands of tokens per image, limiting their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices and in real-time surveillance applications.

From Generator to Embedder: Harnessing Innate Abilities of Multimodal LLMs via Building Zero-Shot Discriminative Embedding Model

arXiv:2508. 00955v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adapting generative Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) into universal embedding models typically demands resource-intensive contrastive pre-training, while traditional hard negative mining methods suffer from severe false negative contamination.

Evaluating LLM-Based Goal Extraction in Requirements Engineering: Prompting Strategies and Their Limitations

arXiv:2604. 22207v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Due to the textual and repetitive nature of many Requirements Engineering (RE) artefacts, Large Language Models (LLMs) have proven useful to automate their generation and processing.

Task-Oriented Candidate-Latent Feedback for Coarse-to-Fine Sensing in Distributed OFDM-ISAC Networks

arXiv:2608. 03319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Future integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) architectures separate the sensing entity (SE) that acquires measurements from the sensing function (SF) that performs inference, creating a need for compact, task-oriented feedback on the SE-SF interface.

DocTrace: Towards Traceable Long Document VQA via Hierarchical Evidence Graph Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 03292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long Document Visual Question Answering (LongDocVQA) requires Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to locate, integrate, and reason over heterogeneous document elements distributed across multiple pages.

ACE-GraphRAG: Agentic Context Engineering for Hierarchical GraphRAG

arXiv:2608. 01269v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hierarchical Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) organizes corpus knowledge at multiple levels of granularity, yet fixed context construction may fail to translate these multi-resolution representations into a context suited to the current query.
