Figureure 1 · : (a) Qualitative comparison of pruning methodsFigure 1: (a) Qualitative comparison of pruning methods. On detail-sensitive VQA questions, single-criterion pruning methods, including attention-based, diversity-based, and coverage-based methods, often fail to answer, whereas the multi-stage TOPS module helps model preserve key visual evidence and produce the correct answers. (b) Performance comparison on four mainstream MLLMs. We validate TOPS across four architectures. TOPS consistently covers the largest area, demonstrating superior performance across all models and benchmarks.这张图概括 TOPS 的整体方法流程。阅读时先看模块之间传递的训练信号,再看作者如何把目标拆成可优化的子问题。Figureure 12 · : Comprehensive qualitative comparison of visual token selections by FFigure 12: Comprehensive qualitative comparison of visual token selections by FastV, DivPrune, SCOPE, and TOPS across diverse real-world questions. Green text indicates a correct answer; red indicates an incorrect answer.这张图/表用于判断 TOPS 的实验收益来自哪里。重点看替换、消融或跨模型设置下趋势是否一致,而不是只看单个最高分。
