HiRED: Attention-Guided Token Dropping for Efficient Inference of High-Resolution Vision-Language Models

High-resolution Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are widely used in multimodal tasks to enhance accuracy by preserving detailed image information. However, these models often generate an excessive number of visual tokens due to the need to encode multiple partitions of a high-resolution image input. Pr…
