NeurIPS 2026: DGP Enables Dynamic Layer-Wise Vision-Language Routing Across All ViT and LLM Layers

Researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University and HKUST propose Dynamic Gated Pathways (DGP), a method that lets each LLM layer dynamically attend to all ViT layers, improving multimodal benchmarks by learning per-layer, per-sample routing weights instead of using a fixed visual projection.
