TALSC: Timeliness-Aware Large-Small VLM Collaboration for Infrastructure-Assisted Autonomous Driving
A Timeliness-Aware Large-Small VLM Collaboration (TALSC) framework that first model the Age of Information (AoI) evolution for VLM inference and characterize the coupling among AoI, token length, and task performance to formulate a general timeliness metric and proposes the TALSC online scheduling algorithm.
