Understanding Submodular Information Measure Based Objectives for Representation Learning: A Variance and Separation Perspective

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Submodular Information Measures (SIMs) have recently emerged as a powerful framework for representation learning and multimodal learning. In particular, the SCORE framework~\cite{majee2024score} demonstrated that SIMs can serve as effective objectives for supervised contrastive learning.

When to Align, When to Predict: A Phase Diagram for Multimodal Learning

Cross-modal alignment (CA) and cross-modal prediction (CP) are the dominant paradigms for multimodal representation learning, yet there is no systematic understanding of when each succeeds, when each fails, and when cross-modal training helps at all -- a gap that leaves practitioners, especially in scientific domains like biomedicine or astrophysics, with heterogeneous instruments and multiple levels of organization and measurement, unable to diagnose why standard methods underperform the best single modality. We develop a unified linear framework that addresses both questions.
