New research tackles multimodal AI attribution challenges · 2 papers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Two new research papers explore multimodal attribution, focusing on interpreting AI models that process diverse data types like images and text. The first paper, TIB, addresses limitations in existing methods that assume perfect alignment between modalities, proposing a sample-wise approach to adaptively modulate attribution strength. The second paper introduces Structured Kernel Surrogate Models (SKS) to capture cross-sample and cross-modality interactions, outperforming existing methods in correlation with prediction outcomes and improving downstream data selection accuracy. AI

IMPACT These papers advance techniques for understanding how AI models interpret and weigh different data types, crucial for building more transparent and reliable multimodal systems.

    TIB: Sample-wise Tempered Information Bottleneck for Multimodal Attribution beyond Alignment Assumption

    arXiv:2611.12997v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal (e.g. vision-language, in this work) attribution aims to interpret the models without access to ground-truth explanatory supervision. Existing multimodal attribution methods typically rely on paired modalities as proxy …

    Structured Kernel Surrogate Models for Multimodal Attribution

    arXiv:2611.13198v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of cross-sample modality attribution, which involves measuring how one modality in one sample affects the learning outcome in other multimodal samples. This problem is crucial in a multimodal system because a …
