Understanding Internal Pruning Stages in Multimodal LLMs via Layer-wise Interaction Dynamics

Abstract#

Although token pruning is widely used to accelerate multimodal large language models (MLLMs), the choice of an internal pruning layer remains largely heuristic. We analyze the layer-wise interaction dynamics of MLLMs and find that effective pruning layers consistently appear when multimodal representations have become relatively stable while multimodal tokens still receive substantial attention. Based on this observation, we propose an interpretable, training-free, and calibration-based criterion that combines representation stability and multimodal attention to select internal pruning layers. Experiments on heterogeneous multimodal backbones show that the proposed criterion improves the accuracy-efficiency trade-off over random and fixed-layer baselines under reduced token budgets and TFLOPs. These results suggest that effective internal pruning is governed by shared layer-wise regularities rather than ad hoc layer choices.

Introduction#

background: MLLMs 长序列 显存开销、推理速度;

已有研究:进入 LLM 前后剪枝,进入 LLM 前剪枝比较成熟,进入 LLM 后剪枝在哪一层剪现有工作虽然在不同层做过 pruning,但是(启发式,经验,泛用性差依赖backbone模型)

核心观察:有效剪枝层通常不是最早层也不是最晚层,而是处在主要 multimodal interaction 已发生后且 token 仍有较高 attention participation的阶段。

概述方法:提出了一个 training-free, calibration-based, interpretable 选层打分方法,并在异构 backbone 上实验验证了其有效性,说明方法泛用性

陈列贡献点:

从 基础剪枝实验找最优层 到 经验性剪枝层选择探索 到 分析选择剪枝层
