• Abstract summary: We introduce a meta-learning framework specifically designed for multimodal federated tasks. Our approach is motivated by the need to enable federated models to robustly adapt when exposed to new modalities. We demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the baseline on a subset of missing modality scenarios.

• Abstract: We present a novel approach in the domain of federated learning (FL), particularly focusing on addressing the challenges posed by modality heterogeneity, variability in modality availability across clients, and the prevalent issue of missing data. We introduce a meta-learning framework specifically designed for multimodal federated tasks. Our approach is motivated by the need to enable federated models to robustly adapt when exposed to new modalities, a common scenario in FL where clients often differ in the number of available modalities. The effectiveness of our proposed framework is demonstrated through extensive experimentation on an augmented MNIST dataset, enriched with audio and sign language data. We demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the baseline on a subset of missing modality scenarios with careful tuning of the meta-learning rates. This is a shortened report, and our work will be extended and updated soon.

  Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently received substantial interest, which shows their emerging potential as general-purpose models for various vision-language tasks. Retrieval augmentation techniques have proven to be effective plugins for both LLMs and MLLMs. In this study, we propose multimodal adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training (RA-BLIP), a novel retrieval-augmented framework for various MLLMs.

  Multimodal emotion recognition based on audio and video data is important for real-world applications.

We propose a different perspective on the problem and investigate the advancement of multimodal DFER performance by adapting SSL-pre-trained disjoint unimodal encoders.

  Multimodal Federated Cross Prototype Learning (MFCPL) is a novel approach for MFL under severely missing modalities. MFCPL provides diverse modality knowledge in modality-shared level with the cross-modal regularization and modality-specific level with cross-modal contrastive mechanism. Our approach introduces the cross-modal alignment to provide regularization for modality-specific features, thereby enhancing overall performance.

  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.
