Balancing Efficiency and Efficacy: Training-Free Attention-Guided Switching Between Explicit and Latent Thoughts for MLLMs

Haoqian Kang, Liupeng Li, Kuofeng Gao +5

Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) requires both fine-grained visual perception and rigorous logical deduction. Explicit text-based Chain-of-Thought (CoT) is com…
