MaVEn: A Hybrid Visual Encoding Framework for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs)

Are you tired of large language models struggling to comprehend and integrate information across multiple images? Look no further, as a team of researchers has introduced MaVEn, a cutting-edge multi-granularity visual encoding framework that revolutionizes the performance of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in tasks requiring reasoning across numerous images.

Revolutionizing Multimodal Large Language Models

Discrete Visual Symbol Sequences: MaVEn extracts semantic concepts with a coarse texture from images, streamlining high-level concepts into discrete symbols for easy integration with textual data.

Sequences for Continuous Representation: By simulating fine-grained characteristics of images, MaVEn retains specific visual details necessary for defensible interpretation and logic, ensuring no information is lost in the encoding process.

Bridging the Gap: MaVEn combines both methods to enhance the model’s capacity to comprehend and process information from multiple images cohesively, improving its performance in both single-image and multi-image scenarios.

Dynamic Reduction Mechanism: To manage lengthy continuous feature sequences efficiently, MaVEn implements a dynamic reduction method that optimizes processing efficiency without compromising the quality of visual data being encoded.

Performance Boost: Experimental results show that MaVEn significantly enhances MLLM performance in challenging multi-image reasoning tasks while also improving performance in single-image tasks, making it a versatile solution for various visual processing applications.

Primary Contributions: MaVEn presents a unique framework that enhances MLLMs’ capability to process and comprehend complex visual information across multiple images, introduces a dynamic reduction mechanism for optimizing multi-image processing efficiency, and excels in a range of multi-image reasoning scenarios.
