Summary

A researcher made a video about their first ML research attempt on pruning vision-language models, including negative results, and submitted a paper to arXiv.

I made a video about my first real attempt at ML research. I started with a simple question about pruning vision-language models, spent weeks breaking Qwen2.5-VL and SmolVLM2 in different ways, hit a bunch of negative results, and eventually submitted my first paper to arXiv. https://t.co/berWTRdcvH
