arXiv:2601.21670v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal fusion is often treated as an optimization-balancing problem, where training signals are adjusted to prevent one modality from dominating the others. However, balanced optimization does not fully determine the geometry of intermediate representations. Supervised multimodal models may still learn low-diversity modality-specific embeddings or allow paired cross-modal observations to drift excessively apart, weakening both unimodal robustness and multimodal fusion. We introduce \regName, a lightweight plug-and-play geometric reg
The continuous drive to improve AI model performance and robustness, especially in multimodal systems, necessitates novel regularization techniques to overcome current limitations.
Improving multimodal fusion by addressing diversity and representation geometry is crucial for building more robust, generalizable, and less biased AI systems applicable across many domains.
This research introduces a geometric regularization method that directly impacts how multimodal models learn and combine information, potentially leading to more flexible and powerful AI architectures.
