  • 用多模态向量的几何体积定义注意力得分,捕捉联合依赖关系。
  • 在多模态任务中实现更高精度与更低计算复杂度。
  • 适合需要灵活处理多模态输入的场景,如跨模态理解与生成。

基于Transformer的多模态模型依赖注意力机制融合异构模态信息。尽管取得成功,现有方法通过成对点积或拼接所有模态作为键来计算注意力分数,即使多个模态需联合参与时亦如此。这导致要么模态数的二次复杂度,要么无法显式建模依赖于多个表示联合配置的交互。本文提出体积分量多模态交叉注意力(VMA),其中注意力分数由查询与多个模态特定键的联合几何决定。VMA计算查询与键向量在多模态空间中构成的体积,捕获超越成对相似性的联合多模态依赖,天然支持任意顺序的模态交互。我们将VMA集成至新设计的多模态Transformer架构GRAMformer中,可显式整合任意数量模态。在多模态学习任务上的评估表明,该模型在有效性和效率上均有提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Transformer-based multimodal models rely on attention mechanisms to integrate information across heterogeneous modalities. Despite their success, existing multimodal attention formulations compute their scores through collections of pairwise dot-product interactions or by concatenating all the modalities into the keys, even when multiple modalities should be jointly involved. As a consequence, current approaches either incur quadratic complexity in the number of modalities or fail to explicitly model interactions that depend on the joint configuration of multiple representations. In this work, we introduce the Volumetric Multimodal cross-Attention (VMA), a novel cross-attention mechanism in which attention scores are defined as a function of the joint geometry of a query and multiple modality-specific keys. VMA computes the volume spanned by query and key vectors across multiple modalities, capturing joint multimodal dependencies beyond pairwise similarity, enabling native modeling of any-order modality interactions. We integrate VMA into our novel multimodal transformer architecture, named GRAMformer, explicitly designed to integrate any number of modalities. We evaluate the proposed model on multimodal learning tasks, demonstrating improved effectiveness and efficiency.
