New UG-UMRE framework enhances multimodal relation extraction

Researchers have developed a new framework called UG-UMRE to improve unified multimodal relation extraction (UMRE). This approach addresses issues of noise propagation from inherent uncertainty and the heterogeneity between different modal distributions. UG-UMRE incorporates an Uncertainty-Driven Unimodal Augmentation (UDUA) module that models features as Gaussian distributions and uses self-supervised contrastive learning to filter noise. Additionally, a Joint Aleatoric Uncertainty Alignment (JAUA) module pre-calibrates semantics by aligning statistical properties across modalities into a shared latent space. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that UG-UMRE achieves state-of-the-art performance. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and robust systems for understanding relationships between text and images.

    UG-UMRE: Uncertainty-Guided Modality Augmentation and Distributional Calibration for Unified Multimodal Relation Extraction

    arXiv:2608.04949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified Multimodal Relation Extraction (UMRE) aims to identify intra-modal and cross-modal relations between textual entities and visual objects. However, existing UMRE studies still encounter two critical issues: ignoring inheren…
