🌳 Papers in the Park S2E12

The topic is Visual Token Pruning this week. These methods have been reducing FLOPs by 10x at inference time, while retaining almost (and sometimes even better than) 100% performance. We will be comparing the similarities and differences of 3 such models, all released in the last month. TOPS: https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.27161 CRISP: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.16326 EADP: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.02484 remember to hydrate and bring water :) The goal? Simple. Meet up at the park, yap about a paper for a few minutes. We discuss and enjoy the summer weather. Low stakes, come by for a few minutes or stay for as long as you'd like. I will have some printed out copies of the paper if you'd like to follow along, though I'll probably only have a few. I encourage you to print your own! We welcome community presenters! If you found an interesting paper that you want to talk about, let us know and we will give you time to present. FAQs: What if it rains? Do we need to read the paper before the event? Where are you???
