arXiv:2601. 07565v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal emotion understanding requires the integration of heterogeneous data sources, including text, audio, and visual modalities, while simultaneously addressing discrete emotion recognition and continuous sentiment analysis.
The paper proposes a Mixture-of-Bottleneck (MoB) framework for video-based multimodal sentiment analysis that treats sentiment as an ordinal regression problem, splitting it into polarity recognition and intensity prediction. MoB assigns modality‑specific latent experts to each sub‑task, learns compact, task‑relevant representations via an information bottleneck, and fuses these experts with a multimodal bottleneck routing module and hard mining strategy. Experiments on four datasets and language models demonstrate that MoB captures fine‑grained intra‑ and inter‑modal dynamics, improving performance and enabling more trustworthy localization of nuanced sentiment signals.
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.
