Researchers have developed a new multimodal regression framework called Re-M3Dr to improve the prediction of Mean Deviation (MD) in ophthalmology. While combining Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fundus photography (FP) is intuitively expected to enhance performance, the study found that multimodal fusion often underperforms unimodal models due to data distribution imbalances and modality learning conflicts. Re-M3Dr addresses these issues by improving unimodal representation with adaptive margin-based supervised contrastive learning and stabilizing joint optimization through sharpness-aware gradient modulation. Experiments showed Re-M3Dr achieved an average 29% reduction in Mean Squared Error (MSE) compared to state-of-the-art multimodal methods. AI
