HRIL: Learning Multimodal Synergy via Higher-Order Tensor Modeling

The paper introduces HRIL, a method for learning multimodal representations that explicitly models higher‑order interactions among modalities using a cross‑moment tensor and Tucker decomposition. It adds a synergy‑aware regularizer to preserve higher‑order coupling capacity, aiming to capture synergistic signals that only emerge from joint configurations of multiple modalities. Experiments on controlled synergy tasks and real‑world benchmarks show consistent improvements over existing multimodal contrastive methods, especially on tasks dominated by synergistic interactions.

Mitigating Strong-Modality Collapse in Multimodal Learning via Inverted Asymmetric Fusion

The paper introduces Inverted Asymmetric Fusion (IAF) to address strong-modality collapse in multimodal learning, where dominant modalities are degraded during fusion. IAF preserves the dominant modality by passing it unchanged and letting weaker modalities attend to it, while also strengthening weaker modalities via Modality-Aware Knowledge Distillation. Experiments on MultiHuSE, UR-FUNNY, and MUStARD show that IAF maintains unimodal performance and improves over the best unimodal baseline by up to 8.25%.
