arXiv:2502.12119v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual instruction tuning adapts pre-trained Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to follow human instructions for real-world applications. However, the rapid growth of these datasets introduces significant redundancy, leading to increased computational costs. Existing methods for selecting instruction data aim to prune this redundancy, but predominantly rely on computationally demanding techniques such as proxy-based inference or training-based metrics. Consequently, the substantial computational costs incurred by these selection p
The proliferation of massive multimodal datasets for MLLMs is creating significant computational overhead, making efficient data selection a pressing need for practical deployment and scaling.
This development addresses a critical bottleneck in the scalability and cost-efficiency of multimodal AI, directly impacting the economic viability and accessibility of advanced AI models.
A new method for training-free data selection could significantly reduce computational costs and development cycles for MLLMs, making advanced AI more efficient to train and deploy.
