arXiv:2606.11682v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tabular-image multimodal learning aims to improve predictive modeling by jointly using structured tabular attributes and visual data. Although pretrained encoders provide strong modality-specific representations, full fine-tuning can be computationally expensive, while keeping encoders frozen may limit task-specific adaptation. We propose the Tabular-Image Adapter (TI-Adapter), a modality-specific adapter-based fine-tuning framework for efficient multimodal adaptation. TI-Adapter freezes the pretrained tabular encoder and learns an adapter afte
The proliferation of pretrained models and diverse multimodal datasets necessitates efficient fine-tuning methods that balance performance with computational cost, driving innovation in adapter-based approaches.
This development offers a more resource-efficient pathway for leveraging large AI models in complex multimodal applications, potentially lowering barriers to entry for specialized AI development and deployment.
Fine-tuning large multimodal models can become significantly less computationally intensive, allowing for broader application in scenarios where full fine-tuning is impractical.
