arXiv:2606.11614v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal learning hinges on capturing redundant, unique, and synergistic information across modalities, which collectively constitute multimodal interactions. A critical yet underexplored challenge is that these implicit interactions vary dynamically across samples. In this work, we present the first systematic, information-theoretic analysis highlighting why learning these dynamic, sample-specific interactions is critical for effective multimodal learning. Our analysis further reveals deficits in conventional paradigms at learning these distin
The proliferation of multimodal data and the drive for more human-like AI capabilities necessitate advanced methods for integrating diverse information sources.
This research provides a foundational information-theoretic framework to improve multimodal AI, leading to more robust and accurate models in complex real-world scenarios.
The understanding and implementation of multimodal interaction learning are enhanced by a systematic theoretical analysis, potentially shifting how these systems are designed.
