MMAP is a Multimodal Missing‑Aware Alignment Pretraining method designed to learn image‑tabular representations from incomplete data. It uses a sigmoid contrastive learning image encoder with generative reconstruction, a tabular encoder based on a foundation model, and a missing token generator to handle missing modalities. The approach is evaluated on longitudinal Alzheimer’s tasks—predicting disease stage conversion and amyloid status—and outperforms both multimodal and unimodal baselines.

arXiv:2606. 15743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper addresses the missing-modality challenge in multi-modal learning by introducing Unsupervised Learning for Missing Modalities in Multi-Modal Learning (UL4M4), a flexible framework that imputes missing feature embeddings in a task-independent manner before supervised prediction.

arXiv:2606. 06328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring.

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.
