• Abstract: Mixed-Modal Image Retrieval (MMIR) as a flexible search paradigm has attracted wide attention. However, previous approaches always achieve limited performance, due to two critical factors are seriously overlooked. 1) The contribution of image and text modalities is different, but incorrectly treated equally. 2) There exist inherent labeling noises in describing users' intentions with text in web datasets from diverse real-world scenarios, giving rise to overfitting. We propose a Dynamic Weighted Combiner (DWC) to tackle the above challenges, which includes three merits. First, we propose an Editable Modality De-equalizer (EMD) by taking into account the contribution disparity between modalities, containing two modality feature editors and an adaptive weighted combiner. Second, to alleviate labeling noises and data bias, we propose a dynamic soft-similarity label generator (SSG) to implicitly improve noisy supervision. Finally, to bridge modality gaps and facilitate similarity learning, we propose a CLIP-based mutual enhancement module alternately trained by a mixed-modality contrastive loss. Extensive experiments verify that our proposed model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on real-world datasets.

  We propose a Similarity-Guided Fusion Transformer (SG-MFT) for predicting the semantic locations of users from their multimodal posts.

  Multimodal emotion recognition (MER) in practical scenarios is significantly challenged by the presence of missing or incomplete data. Traditional methods have often involved discarding data or substituting data segments with zero vectors to approximate these incompletenesses. We introduce a novel noise-robust MER model that effectively learns robust multimodal joint representations from noisy data.

  Incongruity between modalities poses a challenge for multimodal fusion, especially in affect recognition. We propose the Hierarchical Crossmodal Transformer with Dynamic Modality Gating (HCT-DMG), a lightweight incongruity-aware model. HCT-DMG: 1) outperforms previous multimodal models with a reduced size of approximately 0.8M parameters; 2) recognizes hard samples where incongruity makes affect recognition difficult; 3) mitigates the incongruity at the latent level in crossmodal attention.

ANIMC has three unique advantages: 1) it is a soft algorithm to adjust our framework in different scenarios, thereby improving its generalization ability; 2) it automatically learns a proper weight for each view, thereby reducing the influence of noises; and 3) it aligns the same instances in different views, thereby decreasing the impact of missing instances.
