Title: Bridging the Semantic-Action Gap in Visual Token Pruning for Efficient VLA Inference

Abstract:
arXiv:2511.16449v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown great potential for embodied AI by integrating visual perception, language understanding, and action execution. In real-time deployment, these models must process continuous visual streams, incurring substantial computational overhead. Visual token pruning -- a mainstream technique for accelerating Vision-Language Models (VLMs) by retaining salient tokens while discarding redundant ones -- of
