Baseline-Relative Counterfactual Refinement for Bit-Aware Visual Token Communication
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.16192v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative visual-token communication reduces transmission load by sending only selected discrete tokens and reconstructing missing content at the receiver. However, existing token-selection criteria based on local uncertainty, importance, or diversity do not directly determine whether changing the current selection improves the final reconstruction under the same packet budget. To address this problem, we propose Gated Counterfactual Refinement for Communication (GCR-C), a rollout-style correction layer over Local-MDL. GCR-C constructs a compact
