LatentVerse: A Framework for Understanding Shared and Modality-Specific Information in Multimodal Latent Representations

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

LatentVerse is a new framework that provides a web-based visual analytics platform and a command-line interface for analyzing multimodal latent representations. It unifies diagnostics for representation quality metrics and extends analysis to multimodal settings by decomposing embeddings into shared and modality-specific components. The authors evaluate the tool through simulations, real biomedical data analyses, and a user study, demonstrating its utility for interpretable evaluation of foundation model representations.

Latent World Recovery for Multimodal Learning with Missing Modalities

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.

LatentLens: Revealing Highly Interpretable Visual Tokens in LLMs

arXiv:2602. 00462v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transforming a large language model (LLM) into a vision-language model (VLM) can be achieved by mapping the visual tokens from a vision encoder into the embedding space of an LLM.

MolEmb: Multimodal Large Language Models Can Be Strong Molecular Embedding Models

MolEmb is a lightweight framework that adapts multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to serve as general molecular embedding models. By aligning molecular profiles with textual descriptions in a shared embedding space using a bidirectional contrastive objective, MolEmb produces embeddings conditioned on both a molecular profile and a natural‑language semantic context. The model performs competitively on molecular property prediction and enables cross‑modal molecule‑text retrieval, while the newly introduced MolCAR benchmark demonstrates that context‑aware molecular embedding is largely a data property of the supervision.

M$^3$-Gen: Interpretable Multimodal Generation of Gene Expression Profiles Using Clinical and Imaging Data

Integrating heterogeneous biomedical data, including clinical metadata, histopathology images, and molecular profiles, is crucial for comprehensive disease understanding. However, gene expression data acquisition remains constrained by high costs and privacy concerns, limiting its use in multimodal research and AI-driven applications.
