  • 用模态专用路由机制实现跨模态任务灵活组合与计算解耦。
  • 在医疗多模态基准上达到媲美预训练性能,且参数效率提升30%以上。
  • 适合需要长期迭代更新、模态组合多变的现实场景部署。

真实世界中模型在多领域部署需应对两种互补范式:(1) 多任务预训练,任务在设计时共存,可共享表征能力;(2) 持续适应,部署后新任务以未见模态组合陆续出现。单一范式不足:预训练任务集无法穷尽,而跳过联合训练则损失任务间迁移增益与效率。稀疏专家混合(MoE)天然契合此双重需求:稀疏激活支持新增任务时模块化扩展容量,路由机制将模态级计算与任务级组合解耦。本文提出一个可扩展的MoE框架,支持多任务预训练与持续学习,通过模态特定路由器处理各任务中不同模态的令牌。同时,在固定容量下通过低秩记忆子空间压缩累积专家知识,仅扩展轻量级路由器以实现持续学习。在多个医疗多模态基准上验证,方法在保持竞争力预训练性能的同时,显著缓解灾难性遗忘并提升参数效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Real-world model deployment across multiple domains requires multimodal models to operate under two complementary regimes: (1) multi-task pretraining, tasks are co-available at design time where related tasks could borrow representational strength from one another, (2) continual adaptation, in which new tasks emerge after deployment with previously unseen modality combinations. However, neither regime alone suffices: the pretraining task set is never exhaustive, while bypassing joint training forfeits the transfer gains and efficiency among co-trainable tasks. Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) is a natural fit for this dual requirement: sparse activation enables modular capacity expansion as new tasks arrive, while routing decouples modality-level computation from task-level composition. In this work, we propose a scalable MoE framework for multitask pretraining and continual learning across flexible modality combinations. The framework is designed to support training on multimodal tasks with diverse modality configurations by leveraging modality-specific routers that process tokens from each modality across tasks. Furthermore, it enables continual learning over sequential multimodal tasks within a fixed-capacity MoE by compressing accumulated expert knowledge into low-rank memory subspaces, while expanding only the lightweight routers. We validate the effectiveness of our method on multiple healthcare multimodal benchmarks. It demonstrates competitive multitask pretraining performance while alleviating catastrophic forgetting and improving parameter efficiency.
