New method explains multimodal transformer interactions at feature level

Researchers have developed a new method called Feature-level I2MoE (FL-I2MoE) to better understand how multimodal transformers make decisions. This technique uses a structured Mixture-of-Experts layer to explicitly identify complementary and redundant evidence between different modalities at the feature level. By combining attribution with masking and using metrics like the Shapley Interaction Index, FL-I2MoE demonstrates that the identified cross-modal interactions are causally relevant for model performance across several benchmarks.
