arXiv:2603. 13326v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal Transformers often produce predictions without clarifying how different modalities jointly support a decision.
arXiv:2606. 29613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures have recently been extended with role-based mechanisms for interpretability.
arXiv:2604. 07753v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Empowering Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) with image generation often leads to catastrophic forgetting in understanding tasks due to severe gradient conflicts.
arXiv:2606. 02679v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal systems often benefit from combining information across language, sound, and visual streams, but this benefit is not guaranteed.
arXiv:2503. 06211v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-pretrained language models (LMs) encode rich world knowledge, but adapting them to process and generate perceptual modalities such as audio and images while effectively leveraging that knowledge remains challenging.
arXiv:2607. 08839v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are typically designed under the assumption that all modalities available during training will also be accessible at inference.
arXiv:2608. 09928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) exhibit strong visual understanding, yet the internal features that cause these behaviors remain difficult to identify, audit, or control.
arXiv:2608. 05000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision offers a critical axis for advancing foundation models, driving a shift towards natively unified multimodal pretraining.
arXiv:2606. 01207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The choice between cross-attention and concatenation for multimodal fusion remains governed by practitioner intuition rather than principled understanding.
arXiv:2608. 05381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can process diverse sensory inputs, yet their reasoning remains heavily biased toward a dominant modality, resulting in brittle cross-modal reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 15796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability seeks to explain neural network behavior by decomposing model computations into interpretable features and circuits.
arXiv:2606. 09853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A central objective in multimodal learning is to capture synergy: task-relevant information that arises only from the joint use of multiple modalities, and is not available from any single modality alone.
arXiv:2608. 04013v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversations (MERC) highlight its reliance on complete multimodal inputs.
