Enhancing Visual Token Representations for Video Large Language Models via Training-Free Spatial-Temporal Pooling and Gridding

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.22078v1 Announce Type: cross Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly advanced video understanding tasks, yet challenges remain in efficiently compressing visual tokens while preserving spatiotemporal interactions. Existing methods, such as LLaVA family, utilize simplistic pooling or interpolation techniques that overlook the intricate dynamics of visual tokens. To bridge this gap, we propose ST-GridPool, a novel
