The survey titled "Tackling Multimodal Learning Challenges with Mixture-of-Expert: A Survey" reviews how Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) frameworks address multimodal learning problems. It categorizes MoE’s contributions into three roles: an efficient multimodal engine that scales without excessive computation, a representation learner that fuses diverse expert knowledge, and an adapter that handles imperfect data such as missing modalities. The paper also highlights research gaps like interpretable routing, expert communication, and lifelong multimodal learning.
arXiv:2606. 11614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal learning hinges on capturing redundant, unique, and synergistic information across modalities, which collectively constitute multimodal interactions.

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.
