提出分层对比学习，更精准分离多模态数据中的共享与私有信息。

Multimodal representation learning is commonly built on a shared-private decomposition, treating latent information as either common to all modalities or specific to one. This binary view is often inadequate: many factors are shared by only subsets of modalities, and ignoring such partial sharing can over-align unrelated signals and obscure complementary information. We propose Hierarchical Contrastive Learning (HCL), a framework that learns globally shared, partially shared, and modality-specific representations within a unified model. HCL combines a hierarchical latent-variable formulation with structural sparsity and a structure-aware contrastive objective that aligns only modalities that genuinely share a latent factor. Under uncorrelated latent variables, we prove identifiability of the hierarchical decomposition, establish recovery guarantees for the loading matrices, and derive parameter estimation and excess-risk bounds for downstream prediction. Simulations show accurate recovery of hierarchical structure and effective selection of task-relevant components. On multimodal electronic health records, HCL yields more informative representations and consistently improves predictive performance.
