Structural Graph Priors and Scaling Laws in Multimodal Vision-Language Models

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 15 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How does the integration of structural graph priors affect the scaling laws of multimodal models compared to pure attention architectures on vision-language benchmarks. Multimodal Transformers serve as the backbone for state-of-the-art vision-language models, yet their quadratic attention complexity remains a critical barrier to scalability. In this work, we investigate the viability of Linear Attention (LA) as a high-efficiency alternative. 0 claims were extracted from source literature; 0 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 2.3/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
