arXiv:2606.31135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present LINet (Linear Integration Network), a Multi-Stream Neural Network (MSNN) for RGB-D scene classification. Current multi-modal architectures treat feature fusion as a discrete, ad-hoc event: early fusion entangles representations prematurely, late fusion isolates them until the final layer, and hybrid or attention-based methods require architectural guesswork to place intermediate fusion blocks. LINet addresses this structural compromise by maintaining three dedicated parallel streams (RGB, depth, and integration) where a novel Linear
This development arises as multi-modal AI systems become increasingly prevalent, demanding more sophisticated and efficient methods for integrating diverse data streams.
Improved cross-modal learning techniques enhance the robustness and accuracy of AI applications, especially in areas like robotics and scene understanding, pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities.
The proposed LINet architecture offers a more structurally sound and efficient approach to multi-modal feature fusion, potentially simplifying model design and improving performance over current ad-hoc methods.
