解决多模态缺失时模型推理受限的问题，让模型能‘想象’缺失模态的信息。

Deploying multimodal systems in real-world environments often entails handling modality-missing scenarios, where one or more modalities are unavailable. While recent studies address this challenge for the general Multimodal Transformer (MT) architecture via prompt tuning, we identify a fundamental limitation in these methods: the Implicit Modality-Reduction bottleneck. By conditioning prompts solely on the observed modalities, they inadvertently restrict the reasoning scope of MTs to the modality-reduced subspace, cutting off access to the latent information sources of the missing modalities. To overcome this limitation, we propose AOEPT, which pioneers a novel modal-contextualized prompting fashion. Specifically, we introduce lightweight Modal-Contextualized Prompts (MCPs) that distill global modality-wise priors from training data, serving as latent repositories of the information sources for missing modalities. Conditioned on the remaining modalities, these MCPs are instantiated into instance-aware prompts that selectively augment missing-modality information for each sample, thereby restoring the reasoning scope of MTs beyond the observed-modality-only subspace. Experiments across various multimodal benchmarks and backbones confirm the strong performance of AOEPT, with minimal computational overhead.
