The paper introduces MEQ, a mutual feedback architecture that iteratively refines two multimodal inputs into coupled embeddings, each embedding incorporating information from the other. By continuously exchanging information between the modalities, the model converges to a fixed point that improves representation quality. Experiments on classification and visual grounding tasks show that MEQ achieves competitive or superior performance compared to concatenation-based baselines, and qualitatively enhances visual grounding when paired with complementary modalities.
arXiv:2606. 11614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal learning hinges on capturing redundant, unique, and synergistic information across modalities, which collectively constitute multimodal interactions.
arXiv:2505. 19614v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal learning has seen remarkable progress, particularly with large-scale pre-training across various modalities.
arXiv:2607. 16789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world perception and decision making are inherently multimodal, integrating complementary signals across modalities.
arXiv:2606. 05109v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To leverage the full potential of multimodal data, we need representations that go beyond the state-of-the-art alignment and fusion approaches and exploit all cross-modal interactions without sacrificing modality-specific information.
arXiv:2610.00576v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose Gestalt, a new paradigm of large multimodal model built around multimodal interplay. Despite rapid advances, large multimodal...
