Less is More: Token-Efficient Video-QA via Adaptive Frame-Pruning and Semantic Graph Integration

The practical application of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to Video Question Answering (Video-QA) is severely hindered by the high token cost of processing numerous video frames. While keyframe selection is the dominant strategy for mitigating this, we identify a critical flaw: even state-of-the-art selectors produce prompts suffering from significant temporal redundancy, a challenge unique to video that we term 'visual echoes'. This issue leads to context dilution and can paradoxically degrade performance. To address this dual challenge, we propose a novel refinement framework that synergistically combines Adaptive Frame-Pruning(AFP) with a lightweight text-based semantic graph. AFP intelligently prunes 'visual echoes' by adaptively clustering frames, while the semantic graph provides crucial, low-cost semantic compensation. Conducting extensive experiments on the LongVideoBench and Video-MME benchmarks against multiple state-of-the-art selectors, our approach demonstrates a drastic reduction in total input tokens by up to 82.2%. Crucially, by creating a concise, high-quality prompt, our framework not only enhances efficiency but also demonstrates a remarkable ability to robustify and improve the accuracy of upstream selectors, achieving results that are highly competitive with, and often superior to, baselines that use vastly more frames.
