• Abstract: In the health domain, decisions are often based on different data modalities. Thus, when creating prediction models, multimodal fusion approaches that can extract and combine relevant features from different data modalities, can be highly beneficial. Furthermore, it is important to understand how each modality impacts the final prediction, especially in high-stake domains, so that these models can be used in a trustworthy and responsible manner. We propose MultiFIX: a new interpretability-focused multimodal data fusion pipeline that explicitly induces separate features from different data types that can subsequently be combined to make a final prediction. An end-to-end deep learning architecture is used to train a predictive model and extract representative features of each modality. Each part of the model is then explained using explainable artificial intelligence techniques. Attention maps are used to highlight important regions in image inputs. Inherently interpretable symbolic expressions, learned with GP-GOMEA, are used to describe the contribution of tabular inputs. The fusion of the extracted features to predict the target label is also replaced by a symbolic expression, learned with GP-GOMEA. Results on synthetic problems demonstrate the strengths and limitations of MultiFIX. Lastly, we apply MultiFIX to a publicly available dataset for the detection of malignant skin lesions.

  We introduce TabDiff, a joint diffusion framework that models all multi-modal distributions of tabular data in one model.

  We study bias arising from confounders in a causal graph for multimodal data. Robust predictive features contain diverse information that helps a model generalize to out-of-distribution data. We use these features as confounder representations and use them via methods motivated by causal theory to remove bias from models.
