• Abstract summary: Cross-modal attentive connections is a new dynamic and effective technique for multimodal representation learning from wearable data. We perform extensive experiments on three public multimodal wearable datasets, WESAD, SWELL-KW, and CASE. Our method can result in superior or competitive performance to state-of-the-art and outperform a variety of baseline uni-modal and classical multimodal methods.

• Abstract: We propose cross-modal attentive connections, a new dynamic and effective technique for multimodal representation learning from wearable data. Our solution can be integrated into any stage of the pipeline, i.e., after any convolutional layer or block, to create intermediate connections between individual streams responsible for processing each modality. Additionally, our method benefits from two properties. First, it can share information uni-directionally (from one modality to the other) or bi-directionally. Second, it can be integrated into multiple stages at the same time to further allow network gradients to be exchanged in several touch-points. We perform extensive experiments on three public multimodal wearable datasets, WESAD, SWELL-KW, and CASE, and demonstrate that our method can effectively regulate and share information between different modalities to learn better representations. Our experiments further demonstrate that once integrated into simple CNN-based multimodal solutions (2, 3, or 4 modalities), our method can result in superior or competitive performance to state-of-the-art and outperform a variety of baseline uni-modal and classical multimodal methods.

  Few-shot 3D point cloud segmentation (FS-PCS) aims at generalizing models to segment novel categories with minimal support samples. We introduce a cost-free multimodal FS-PCS setup, utilizing textual labels and the potentially available 2D image modality.

  Multimodal learning plays a crucial role in enabling machine learning models to fuse and utilize diverse data sources. Recent binding methods, such as ImageBind, typically use a fixed anchor modality to align multimodal data in the anchor modal embedding space. We propose CentroBind, a simple yet powerful approach that eliminates the need for a fixed anchor.

We demonstrate that, under a simple guiding strategy, we can achieve comparable results to other complex late-fusion or intermediate-fusion methods on various multi-modal datasets.
