GOMA (Graph-Optimized Multimodal Alignment) introduces a dual-embedding approach for multimodal retrieval, separating content embeddings supervised for paired identity from semantic embeddings trained with cross-modal pairs and observed relationships. The method fuses these embeddings, applies semantic agreement to weight graph edges, and uses restart graph propagation to reinforce the initial signal, enabling both single-modality and dual-attribute retrieval. Across six datasets and four tasks, GOMA outperforms 14 external methods on 14 primary metrics, with controlled experiments highlighting the impact of separate supervision, graph regularization, and semantic-guided propagation.
