HiPrune: Training-Free Visual Token Pruning via Hierarchical Attention in Vision-Language Models (Student Abstract)

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) encode images into lengthy sequences of visual tokens, leading to excessive computational overhead and limited inference efficiency. In this paper, we study the hierarchical attention pattern in vision encoders and propose HiPrune, a training-free and model-agnostic tok
