New framework tackles modality imbalance in multimodal learning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework to address modality imbalance in multimodal learning, a common issue where dominant data types can overshadow weaker ones. The proposed method uses a Modality Gap metric and a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to identify and separate samples with varying prediction biases. This allows for an adaptive training process that prioritizes stronger modality alignment for imbalanced samples while focusing on multimodal fusion for balanced ones, leading to improved performance over existing methods.

    Mitigating Sample-Level Imbalance via Probabilistic Separation for Adaptive Multimodal Fusion

    arXiv:2510.21797v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal learning faces modality imbalance, where dominant modalities suppress weaker ones due to inconsistent convergence rates. Existing static or heuristic methods overlook sample-level variations in prediction bias a…
