Researchers are exploring advanced methods for multimodal information retrieval, focusing on aligning representations between different data types like text and images. One study investigates various similarity metrics and loss functions, finding that cosine similarity and a custom contrastive loss are effective for aligning visual and textual embeddings. Another paper introduces UniCA, a model employing bi-directional cross-attention and a positive similarity loss to enhance semantic alignment and improve retrieval performance on benchmarks like WebQA.
