• Abstract summary: We introduce transformer based modality fusion techniques, which unify multi-modal data at an early stage. Our Anticipative Feature Fusion Transformer (AFFT) proves to be superior to popular score fusion approaches. We extract audio features on EpicKitchens-100 which we add to the set of commonly used features in the community.

• Abstract: Although human action anticipation is a task which is inherently multi-modal, state-of-the-art methods on well known action anticipation datasets leverage this data by applying ensemble methods and averaging scores of unimodal anticipation networks. In this work we introduce transformer based modality fusion techniques, which unify multi-modal data at an early stage. Our Anticipative Feature Fusion Transformer (AFFT) proves to be superior to popular score fusion approaches and presents state-of-the-art results outperforming previous methods on EpicKitchens-100 and EGTEA Gaze+. Our model is easily extensible and allows for adding new modalities without architectural changes. Consequently, we extracted audio features on EpicKitchens-100 which we add to the set of commonly used features in the community.

  Model merging is a technique that fuses multiple models trained on different tasks to generate a multi-task solution. We conduct our study for a novel goal where we can merge vision, language, and cross-modal transformers of a modality-specific architecture. We propose two metrics that assess the distance between weights to be merged and can serve as an indicator of the merging outcomes.

  Current deep learning approaches for multimodal fusion rely on bottom-up fusion of high and mid-level latent modality representations. Models of human perception highlight the importance of top-down fusion, where high-level representations affect the way sensory inputs are perceived. We propose a neural architecture that captures top-down cross-modal interactions, using a feedback mechanism in the forward pass during network training.
