Household robots need to continually navigate to different objects in the same environment, many of which are small and portable, such as tools and toys. Their small visual footprint and frequent occlusion make reliable observation difficult, and they may be moved by people without the robot observing the changes. We f …
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models enable parameter scaling with limited per-token computation by activating only a small subset of experts for each token, but deploying them still requires loading the complete expert pool into memory. Structured expert pruning can effectively reduce the memory usage by removing experts. …
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) incur high inference latency from long visual token sequences. Existing pruning methods commonly use attention maps or output features to estimate token importance or redundancy. Several recent approaches also exploit representation changes, but when and how these changes reflec …
