arXiv:2507.17588v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal Machine Translation (MMT) typically enhances text-only translation by incorporating aligned visual features. Despite the remarkable progress, state-of-the-art MMT approaches often rely on paired image-text inputs at inference and are sensitive to irrelevant visual noise, which limits their robustness and practical applicability. To address these issues, we propose D2P-MMT, a diffusion-based dual-branch prompting framework for robust vision-guided translation. Specifically, D2P-MMT requires only the source text and a reconstru
The development of more robust multimodal machine translation is crucial as AI models become increasingly sophisticated and pervasive in real-world applications requiring nuanced sensory input.
This signifies a step towards more practical and resilient AI systems, reducing their sensitivity to imperfect visual data and expanding their applicability in diverse environments.
The reliance of multimodal machine translation on perfectly aligned and noise-free visual inputs is reduced, allowing for broader deployment and improved performance in complex scenarios.

Machine translation becomes more accurate and reliable when integrating visual context, even with irrelevant visual noise.
This improved reliability could accelerate the adoption of real-time multimodal translation in mobile devices and augmented reality applications.
Enhanced cross-lingual and cross-modal understanding could lead to new forms of human-computer interaction and global information sharing.
