FedTaste: Topology-Aware Structural Transfer for Multimodal Federated Learning with Missing Modalities

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 23245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Federated Learning is often challenged by arbitrary modality missingness and Non-IID data distributions, which lead to severe representation drift and hinder effective collaboration across clients.

Toward Federated Multimodal Graph Foundation Models: A Topology-Aware Multimodal Alignment Framework

arXiv:2607. 15687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), whose nodes carry modalities such as images and text alongside topological structure, now pervade applications including social platforms, e-commerce, and biomedical networks, offering richer semantic signals than single-modality graphs.

Unsupervised Learning for Missing Modalities in Multimodal Learning

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.
