New MuteBench benchmark evaluates AI robustness to missing multimodal data

Researchers have introduced MuteBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the robustness of multimodal fusion architectures in clinical AI systems when faced with missing data. The benchmark covers nine datasets across seven clinical domains and assesses six fusion architectures under two distinct missing-data scenarios: complete modality absence and partial within-modality data loss. Findings indicate that architecture type is a more significant factor in robustness than model size, with channel-independent models performing well against missing modalities but showing sensitivity to within-modality gaps, particularly in shorter sequences.

    MuteBench: Modality Unavailability Tolerance Evaluation for Incomplete Multimodal Fusion

    arXiv:2605.15235v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal physiological data powers clinical AI systems from intensive care units to wearable devices, but sensors routinely fail in practice. Two failure modes are common: modality missing, where an entire channel is absent, a…
