Modality Robustness

Modality robustness in multimodal learning focuses on developing systems that maintain performance even when some input data sources (modalities) are missing or corrupted. Current research emphasizes techniques like masked modality projection, adversarial prompting, and gradient-guided modality decoupling to improve robustness, often within existing architectures such as StyleGAN3 or by adapting pre-trained models with minimal parameter additions. This research is crucial for deploying reliable multimodal systems in real-world scenarios where incomplete or noisy data is common, impacting fields ranging from medical image analysis to sentiment analysis.
