The paper introduces the Robust Graph Clustering Network for Multiple Missing Data (RGCN), a method designed to cluster graphs with simultaneous missing node attributes and structural links. RGCN employs a view‑decoupled dual‑branch imputation to reduce cross‑view interference, a multi‑hyperspherical mixture prior to improve cluster compactness and separability on a directional latent manifold, and a boundary‑aware contrastive enhancement objective to counteract cluster blurring caused by imputation bias. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that RGCN consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines across various missing data patterns.

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:2606. 06328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring.

The paper introduces a pre‑training pipeline that creates transformer‑based imputation specialists for tabular data with specific missingness patterns. By featurizing entries, generating synthetic data with configurable missingness modules, and fitting on millions of synthetic tables, the pipeline produces pattern‑specific models that outperform dedicated methods for each missingness pattern. A default model trained only on MCAR data, TabImpute, remains robust across all tested patterns, and the authors release the pipeline, models, and a new benchmark of 42 datasets and 11 missingness patterns.

arXiv:2606. 12362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study multimodal learning under missing modalities, with particular motivation from bioscience applications in which heterogeneous modalities are often only partially available when decisions need to be made.
