Abstract

We tackle the problem of finding good architectures for multimodal classification problems. We propose a novel and generic search space that spans a large number of possible fusion architectures. In order to find an optimal architecture for a given dataset in the proposed search space, we leverage an efficient sequential model-based exploration approach that is tailored for the problem. We demonstrate the value of posing multimodal fusion as a neural architecture search problem by extensive experimentation on a toy dataset and two other real multimodal datasets. We discover fusion architectures that exhibit state-of-the-art performance for problems with different domain and dataset size, including the \ntu~dataset, the largest multimodal action recognition dataset available.

  • Several approaches define a set of atomic neural operations and use architecture search to automatically learn the best order of these operations for a given multimodal task.

    “Finally, instead of hand-designing multimodal architectures, several approaches define a set of atomic neural operations (e.g., linear transformation, activation, attention, etc.) and use architecture search to automatically learn the best order of these operations for a given multimodal task [122, 173].”

    From MultiBench: Multiscale Benchmarks for Multimodal Representation Learning (2021) · cites this paper as [122]

    Section 3.1 (pp. 3–4) describes an architecture search for multimodal tasks that selects features, nonlinearities, and the number of fusion layers. It does not search the order of a general set of atomic operations: feature concatenation is fixed, and attention is not among the operations described. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
