Missing-by-Design: Certifiable Modality Deletion for Revocable Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2602. 16144v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As multimodal systems increasingly process sensitive personal data, the ability to selectively revoke specific data modalities has become a critical requirement for privacy compliance and user autonomy.

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.

Multimodal Unlearning Across Vision, Language, Video, and Audio: Survey of Methods, Datasets, and Benchmarks

arXiv:2607. 07907v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the growing adoption of VLMs, DMs, LLMs, and AFMs, these multimodal foundation models can inadvertently encode sensitive, copyrighted, biased, or unsafe cross-modal associations that originate from their training data.

Robust Multimodal Sentiment Analysis with Incomplete Modalities via Semantic-aware Completeness based Reconstruction

The paper presents a method for robust multimodal sentiment analysis that handles incomplete or noisy modalities. It introduces a completeness estimation technique to measure how much sentiment-relevant information remains in partial data, guiding the reconstruction of missing semantics. A joint training strategy stabilizes multi-task learning for sentiment prediction and completeness estimation, and experiments on three benchmark datasets show improved semantic reconstruction and sentiment accuracy.

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.
