Skip-It? Theoretical Conditions for Layer Skipping in Vision-Language Models
Under Review for ICML 2026. Paper presents a unified framework for analyzing model efficiency improvement methods such as token pruning and layer skipping. We then use this framework and do a case-study on layer-skipping, theoretically grounding its results.
