• Title: Generalized Multimodal ELBO
• Authors: Thomas M. Sutter and Imant Daunhawer, Julia E. Vogt
• Abstract summary: Multiple data types naturally co-occur when describing real-world phenomena and learning from them is a long-standing goal in machine learning research. Existing self-supervised generative models approximating an ELBO are not able to fulfill all desired requirements of multimodal models. We propose a new, generalized ELBO formulation for multimodal data that overcomes these limitations.

• Abstract: Multiple data types naturally co-occur when describing real-world phenomena and learning from them is a long-standing goal in machine learning research. However, existing self-supervised generative models approximating an ELBO are not able to fulfill all desired requirements of multimodal models: their posterior approximation functions lead to a trade-off between the semantic coherence and the ability to learn the joint data distribution. We propose a new, generalized ELBO formulation for multimodal data that overcomes these limitations. The new objective encompasses two previous methods as special cases and combines their benefits without compromises. In extensive experiments, we demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method compared to state-of-the-art models in self-supervised, generative learning tasks.

  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.

  Large language models (LLMs) can be used to train a model capable of extracting various types of entities. In this paper, we utilize the open-sourced LLM LLaMA2 as the backbone model, and design specific instructions to distinguish between different types of entities and datasets. Our model VANER, trained with a small partition of parameters, significantly outperforms previous LLMs-based models and, for the first time, as a model based on LLM, surpasses the majority of conventional state-of-the-art BioNER systems.

  We develop a contrastive framework for generative model learning, allowing us to train the model not just by the commonality between modalities, but by the distinction between "related" and "unrelated" multimodal data. Under our proposed framework, the generative model can accurately identify related samples from unrelated ones, making it possible to make use of the plentiful unlabeled, unpaired multimodal data.
