Title: Large Vision-Language Models Get Lost in Attention

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.05668v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the rapid evolution of training paradigms, the decoder backbone of large vision--language models (LVLMs) remains fundamentally rooted in the residual-connection Transformer architecture. Therefore, deciphering the distinct roles of internal modules is critical for understanding model mechanics and guiding architectural optimization. While prior statistical approaches have provided valuable attribution-based insights, they often lack a unifi
