arXiv:2606. 15743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper addresses the missing-modality challenge in multi-modal learning by introducing Unsupervised Learning for Missing Modalities in Multi-Modal Learning (UL4M4), a flexible framework that imputes missing feature embeddings in a task-independent manner before supervised prediction.
arXiv:2607. 23245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Federated Learning is often challenged by arbitrary modality missingness and Non-IID data distributions, which lead to severe representation drift and hinder effective collaboration across clients.
The paper introduces Language-driven Dense Semantic Adaptor (LDSA) for multi-label image classification with incomplete annotations. LDSA leverages multimodal pretrained CLIP models to extract prior-adaptive relationships, employing a densely contrastive adaptor for visual contrastive constraints and a language-driven interactive decoder with class-specific prompt tuning. Experiments show LDSA achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on public benchmarks and reveals implicit semantic relationships through its learning scheme.

arXiv:2606. 16484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold great potential for medicine, as they inherit knowledge from LLM and allow multiple data modalities to be integrated, analysed and interpreted in natural language.
Reliability-aware Cross-sample Enhancement (RCE) is a framework for multimodal sentiment analysis that tackles noise and missing modalities by first applying an adaptive variational information bottleneck to compress unreliable modality information. It then retrieves high‑confidence, semantically consistent neighbors from a large candidate pool to enrich current representations, and finally fuses cross‑modal interactions through a multilevel reliability‑aware mechanism. Experiments show RCE consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in full, noisy, and missing‑modality scenarios.
arXiv:2608. 20019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Incomplete multimodal sentiment analysis has garnered significant attention in recent years.
SemMSA introduces a latent semantic‑aided framework for multimodal sentiment analysis that leverages large language models to generate rich sentiment‑relevant semantics. The method employs Cross‑modal Semantic Refinement (CSR) to fuse visual, acoustic, and language features in a frozen LLM embedding space, and Cross‑modal Spectral Alignment (CSA) to align these refined semantics with all modalities via spectral enhancement of kernel Gram matrices. Experiments on SIMS, MOSI, and MOSEI benchmarks show that SemMSA achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance.
arXiv:2606. 09301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal federated graph learning (MM-FGL) aims to collaboratively learn from decentralized graphs with text and images.
The paper introduces Modality Self-Play (MSP), a training framework that enables multimodal large language models to learn cross‑modal interactions without requiring paired non‑text data. MSP uses proxy‑mediated textual descriptions of unseen modalities as semantic bridges, allowing a model to generate and align these proxies with observed modalities. Experiments show that MSP achieves state‑of‑the‑art or competitive performance on several multimodal benchmarks and demonstrates effective zero‑shot modality composition through learned bridges and anchor‑supporting proxy descriptions.
arXiv:2608. 03611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) integrates text, audio, and vision to infer human affect, yet real-world multimodal observations are often incomplete.
