SToRM: Supervised Token Reduction for Multi-modal LLMs toward efficient end-to-end autonomous driving
This paper proposes SToRM, a novel framework that employs a lightweight importance predictor, supervised training with pseudo-labels, and an anchor-context merging module to significantly reduce visual token redundancy in multi-modal LLMs for autonomous driving, achieving up to 30x computational savings while maintaining end-to-end performance comparable to using all tokens.
