Fusion Strategy

Fusion strategies in various fields aim to combine information from multiple sources (e.g., image modalities, sensor data, model predictions) to improve performance beyond what single-source methods can achieve. Current research focuses on optimizing fusion techniques at different levels (early, mid, late), exploring adaptive fusion methods that select optimal strategies based on input characteristics, and developing novel architectures like attention mechanisms and mixture-of-experts models to effectively integrate heterogeneous data. These advancements have significant implications for diverse applications, including medical image analysis, autonomous driving, and recommendation systems, by enhancing accuracy, robustness, and efficiency.
