用代数几何分析多模态嵌入对齐,揭示共享与模态特异性信息的结构关系。

Approximate Fiber Product: A Preliminary Algebraic-Geometric Perspective on Multimodal Embedding Alignment

  • 将图像和文本建模为离散环上的多项式,用纤维积分析对齐特性。
  • 引入容差参数ε的近似纤维积,平衡精度与噪声鲁棒性。
  • 分解共享嵌入空间为正交子空间,揭示优化与维度分配的几何机制。

多模态任务如图文检索与生成,需将异构模态数据映射至共享表示空间。如何在保留共享语义的同时区分模态特异性信息,是核心挑战。本文首次尝试将代数几何引入多模态表征学习,提供初步理论视角。我们将图像与文本数据分别建模为离散环上的多项式:$\mathbb{Z}_{256}[x]$ 和 $\mathbb{Z}_{|V|}[x]$,从而利用纤维积等代数工具分析对齐性质。为应对真实数据中的变异性,我们提出带有容差参数 $ε$ 的近似纤维积,研究其随 $ε$ 的渐近行为、对扰动的鲁棒性及对嵌入维度的敏感性。此外,我们提出共享嵌入空间的正交分解 $Z = Z_s \oplus Z_I \oplus Z_T$,其中 $Z_s$ 捕获共享语义,$Z_I$、$Z_T$ 编码模态特异性特征。该分解通过流形与纤维丛进行几何解释,为嵌入结构与优化提供新洞见。本框架建立了分析多模态对齐的原理基础,揭示了鲁棒性、维度分配与代数结构间的关联,为后续基于代数几何的嵌入空间研究奠定基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multimodal tasks, such as image-text retrieval and generation, require embedding data from diverse modalities into a shared representation space. Aligning embeddings from heterogeneous sources while preserving shared and modality-specific information is a fundamental challenge. This paper provides an initial attempt to integrate algebraic geometry into multimodal representation learning, offering a foundational perspective for further exploration. We model image and text data as polynomials over discrete rings, \( \mathbb{Z}_{256}[x] \) and \( \mathbb{Z}_{|V|}[x] \), respectively, enabling the use of algebraic tools like fiber products to analyze alignment properties. To accommodate real-world variability, we extend the classical fiber product to an approximate fiber product with a tolerance parameter \( ε\), balancing precision and noise tolerance. We study its dependence on \( ε\), revealing asymptotic behavior, robustness to perturbations, and sensitivity to embedding dimensionality. Additionally, we propose a decomposition of the shared embedding space into orthogonal subspaces, \( Z = Z_s \oplus Z_I \oplus Z_T \), where \( Z_s \) captures shared semantics, and \( Z_I \), \( Z_T \) encode modality-specific features. This decomposition is geometrically interpreted via manifolds and fiber bundles, offering insights into embedding structure and optimization. This framework establishes a principled foundation for analyzing multimodal alignment, uncovering connections between robustness, dimensionality allocation, and algebraic structure. It lays the groundwork for further research on embedding spaces in multimodal learning using algebraic geometry.
