Scaling Capability in Token Space: An Analysis of Large Vision Language Model
Tenghui Li, Guoxu Zhou, Xuyang Zhao, Qibin Zhao
The scaling capability has been widely validated in neural language models with respect to the number of parameters and the size of training data. One important question is that does the scaling capability also exists similarly with respect to the number of vision tokens in large vision language Model? This study fills the gap by investigating the relationship between the number of vision tokens and the performance on vision-language models. Our theoretical analysis and empirical evaluations demonstrate that the model exhibits scalable performance S(Nₗ) with respect to the number of vision tokens Nₗ, characterized by the relationship S(Nₗ) ≈(c/Nₗ)^α. Furthermore, we also investigate the impact of a fusion mechanism that integrates the user's question with vision tokens. The results reveal two key findings. First, the scaling capability remains intact with the incorporation of the fusion mechanism. Second, the fusion mechanism enhances model performance, particularly when the user's question is task-specific and relevant. The analysis, conducted on fifteen diverse benchmarks spanning a broad range of tasks and domains, validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
