SemMSA: Latent Semantic-Aided Robust Multimodal Sentiment Analysis with Incomplete Data

SemMSA introduces a latent semantic‑aided framework for multimodal sentiment analysis that leverages large language models to generate rich sentiment‑relevant semantics. The method employs Cross‑modal Semantic Refinement (CSR) to fuse visual, acoustic, and language features in a frozen LLM embedding space, and Cross‑modal Spectral Alignment (CSA) to align these refined semantics with all modalities via spectral enhancement of kernel Gram matrices. Experiments on SIMS, MOSI, and MOSEI benchmarks show that SemMSA achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance.

Reliability-aware Cross-sample Enhancement for Robust Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

Reliability-aware Cross-sample Enhancement (RCE) is a framework for multimodal sentiment analysis that tackles noise and missing modalities by first applying an adaptive variational information bottleneck to compress unreliable modality information. It then retrieves high‑confidence, semantically consistent neighbors from a large candidate pool to enrich current representations, and finally fuses cross‑modal interactions through a multilevel reliability‑aware mechanism. Experiments show RCE consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in full, noisy, and missing‑modality scenarios.

Text-Anchored Modality Experts with Uncertainty-Guided Routing for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

The paper introduces TAME, a Text‑Anchored Modality Experts framework that treats language as a fixed, always‑active expert and routes audio‑textual and video‑textual cross‑modal branches as dynamic auxiliary experts. It incorporates lightweight Prophet Heads to estimate sample‑level uncertainty for each modality, guiding a reliability‑aware routing mechanism for expert aggregation. Experiments on CMU‑MOSI, CMU‑MOSEI, and CH‑SIMS show that TAME achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while reducing parameters by up to 78.7% and FLOPs by up to 41.2% compared to a mixture‑of‑experts baseline.
