• Abstract summary: There is a rapidly growing need for multimodal content moderation (CM) on social media. Existing unimodal CM systems may fail to catch harmful content that crosses modalities. We present a novel CM model, Asymmetric Mixed-Modal Moderation (AM3), to target multimodal and unimodal CM tasks.

• Abstract: There is a rapidly growing need for multimodal content moderation (CM) as more and more content on social media is multimodal in nature. Existing unimodal CM systems may fail to catch harmful content that crosses modalities (e.g., memes or videos), which may lead to severe consequences. In this paper, we present a novel CM model, Asymmetric Mixed-Modal Moderation (AM3), to target multimodal and unimodal CM tasks. Specifically, to address the asymmetry in semantics between vision and language, AM3 has a novel asymmetric fusion architecture that is designed to not only fuse the common knowledge in both modalities but also to exploit the unique information in each modality. Unlike previous works that focus on representing the two modalities into a similar feature space while overlooking the intrinsic difference between the information conveyed in multimodality and in unimodality (asymmetry in modalities), we propose a novel cross-modality contrastive loss to learn the unique knowledge that only appears in multimodality. This is critical as some harmful intent may only be conveyed through the intersection of both modalities. With extensive experiments, we show that AM3 outperforms all existing state-of-the-art methods on both multimodal and unimodal CM benchmarks.

  We propose the Modality-INformed knowledge Distillation (MIND) framework, a multimodal model compression approach. MIND transfers knowledge from ensembles of pre-trained deep neural networks of varying sizes into a smaller multimodal student. We evaluate MIND on binary and multilabel clinical prediction tasks using time series data and chest X-ray images.

  We introduce Contrastive MultiModal learning strategy that enables the communication between modalities in a single multimodal space. Our theoretical analysis shows that shared, synergistic and unique terms of information naturally emerge from this formulation, allowing us to estimate multimodal interactions beyond redundancy. In the latter, CoMM learns complex multimodal interactions and achieves state-of-the-art results on the six multimodal benchmarks.

  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.
