• Abstract: The popularity of multimodal sensors and the accessibility of the Internet have brought us a massive amount of unlabeled multimodal data. Since existing datasets and well-trained models are primarily unimodal, the modality gap between a unimodal network and unlabeled multimodal data poses an interesting problem: how to transfer a pre-trained unimodal network to perform the same task on unlabeled multimodal data? In this work, we propose multimodal knowledge expansion (MKE), a knowledge distillation-based framework to effectively utilize multimodal data without requiring labels. Opposite to traditional knowledge distillation, where the student is designed to be lightweight and inferior to the teacher, we observe that a multimodal student model consistently denoises pseudo labels and generalizes better than its teacher. Extensive experiments on four tasks and different modalities verify this finding. Furthermore, we connect the mechanism of MKE to semi-supervised learning and offer both empirical and theoretical explanations to understand the denoising capability of a multimodal student.

  This paper introduces the Cross-modal Few-Shot Learning task, which aims to recognize instances from multiple modalities when only a few labeled examples are available. We propose a Generative Transfer Learning framework consisting of two stages: the first involves training on abundant unimodal data, and the second focuses on transfer learning to adapt to novel data. Our finds demonstrate that GTL has superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods across four distinct multi-modal datasets.

We then propose unimodal and multimodal denoising tasks to train MUCN with explicit supervision via a bi-level optimization strategy.

  We propose MLA (Multimodal Learning with Alternating Unimodal Adaptation) to overcome challenges where some modalities appear more dominant than others during multimodal learning. MLA reframes the conventional joint multimodal learning process by transforming it into an alternating unimodal learning process. It captures cross-modal interactions through a shared head, which undergoes continuous optimization across different modalities. Experiments are conducted on five diverse datasets, encompassing scenarios with complete modalities and scenarios with missing modalities.

We show how these theoretical results can be used to estimate multimodal model performance, guide data collection, and select appropriate multimodal models for various tasks.

This allows not only for robust training with noisy video data, but also to scale up the size of the capsule network compared to traditional routing methods.
