Training-Adaptive Convolutional Sparse Coding via Information Bottleneck for Robust Visual Representation

The paper introduces a training‑adaptive convolutional sparse coding (CSC) framework that learns the sparsity coefficient jointly with network parameters using an unfolded FISTA optimization. By treating the coefficient as a differentiable variable, the method balances information retention and compression through an information bottleneck perspective, promoting compact yet task‑relevant representations. A label‑free post‑training strategy further adjusts compression for corrupted inputs, yielding competitive accuracy on clean data and enhanced robustness to perturbations on CIFAR and ImageNet.

Unsupervised Learning for Missing Modalities in Multimodal Learning

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.
