• Abstract: Discovering materials with desirable properties in an efficient way remains a significant problem in materials science. Many studies have tackled this problem by using different sets of information available about the materials. Among them, multimodal approaches have been found to be promising because of their ability to combine different sources of information. However, fusion algorithms to date remain simple, lacking a mechanism to provide a rich representation of multiple modalities. This paper presents LLM-Fusion, a novel multimodal fusion model that leverages large language models (LLMs) to integrate diverse representations, such as SMILES, SELFIES, text descriptions, and molecular fingerprints, for accurate property prediction. Our approach introduces a flexible LLM-based architecture that supports multimodal input processing and enables material property prediction with higher accuracy than traditional methods. We validate our model on two datasets across five prediction tasks and demonstrate its effectiveness compared to unimodal and naive concatenation baselines.

  Multimodal Entities Linking (MEL) is a crucial task that aims at linking ambiguous mentions within multimodal contexts to referent entities in a multimodal knowledge base, such as Wikipedia. Existing methods overcomplicate the MEL task and overlook the visual semantic information, which makes them costly and hard to scale. We propose UniMEL, a unified framework which establishes a new paradigm to process multimodal entity linking tasks using Large Language Models.

In addition to the sentiment analysis task, we also designed two contrastive learning tasks, label based contrastive learning and data based contrastive learning tasks.
