Title: ResAdapt: Adaptive Resolution for Efficient Multimodal Reasoning

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.28610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve stronger visual understanding by scaling input fidelity, yet the resulting visual token growth makes jointly sustaining high spatial resolution and long temporal context prohibitive. We argue that the bottleneck lies not in how post-encoding representations are compressed but in the volume of pixels the encoder receives, and address it with ResAdapt, an Input-side adaptation framework that learns h
