New CAT-GS method stabilizes multimodal neural network training

Researchers have developed CAT-GS, a novel optimization controller designed to improve the training stability of multimodal neural networks. This method addresses common issues such as modality imbalance, unstable gating, and conflicting fusion gradients without altering the model architecture or task losses. CAT-GS employs techniques like temperature scaling, EMA smoothing, and gradient renormalization to stabilize neural dynamics and reduce cross-modal interference. Evaluations on various audio-visual and tri-modal benchmarks demonstrate that CAT-GS achieves competitive or superior accuracy compared to existing imbalance-aware baselines, while also exhibiting smoother gating behavior and reduced fusion gradient conflicts.

    CAT-GS: Balanced Multimodal Learning via Calibrated Gating and Fusion Surgery

    arXiv:2608.24947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: End-to-end training of multimodal neural networks often exhibits unstable neural dynamics characterized by three coupled failure modes that degrade learning: (i) modality imbalance, where one branch dominates gradient-based optimiza…
