The paper introduces a generalized multimodal foundation model that can handle arbitrary combinations of modalities and prediction tasks. It trains on large-scale synthetic multimodal datasets with diverse causal structures to learn transferable multimodal correlations. Experiments on 18 real-world datasets across 12 modalities and 11 tasks show competitive performance compared to specialized models without task-specific adaptation.

arXiv:2508. 12466v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional multimodal learning approaches rely on alignment pre-training to bridge vision and language modalities, typically by projecting visual features into discrete text token spaces using large-scale image--text data.
The paper introduces Fusion Anything Model (FAM), a foundation model designed for generalized multimodal data fusion that can handle arbitrary modality combinations and prediction tasks. FAM is trained on large-scale synthetic multimodal datasets generated via Structural Multimodal Causal Models (SMCMs), enabling it to encode transferable multimodal correlations. Experiments on 18 real-world datasets across 12 modalities and 11 tasks show that FAM performs competitively with specialized models without requiring task-specific adaptation.
