arXiv:2606.05109v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To leverage the full potential of multimodal data, we need representations that go beyond the state-of-the-art alignment and fusion approaches and exploit all cross-modal interactions without sacrificing modality-specific information. Learning disentangled representations is a principled way to identify these underlying shared and unique factors that are hidden in observational data. However, while multimodal disentanglement is a compelling paradigm, existing methods are largely confined to the two-modality regime due to its inherent scalability
The paper addresses a current limitation in multimodal AI, scaling disentangled representation learning, which is a key barrier to more sophisticated AI system development.
Advanced disentangled representation learning is crucial for developing more robust, interpretable, and generalisable AI models, especially as data becomes increasingly multimodal.
This research outlines a methodology for scaling disentangled representation learning beyond two modalities, offering a path to more complex and efficient multimodal AI.
