パナソニックHD、Vision AIを高速化するSparseVLMを発表

Panasonic R&D Company of America (PRDCA) and Panasonic Holdings Co., Ltd. (Panasonic HD), in collaboration with researchers from Peking University, Fudan University, University of California, Berkeley, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have developed "SparseVLM," a technology that reduces the weight of the Vision-Language Model (VLM), an AI model that understands visual information (image and video information) in language. In recent years, VLM, an AI model that processes visual and text information simultaneously and answers questions about visual information, has been actively developed. However, there is a problem that the amount of information handled by the AI ​​model increases, especially with high-resolution images and long videos, resulting in increased inference time and calculation volume. The developed "SparseVLM" takes a new approach of processing (sparse) only the visual information related to the…
