Multimodal Emotion Analysis (MEA) is crucial for human-centric AI, yet current methods struggle with two core challenges: the sparse nature of emotional cues across modalities and their inherent temporal asynchrony. Existing approaches, which often rely on implicit fusion, consequently suffer from d
Infrared pedestrian detection is crucial in safety-critical systems but remains vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Existing physical attacks often rely on fixed, static patterns. However, they often lack robustness across scales, as their hand-crafted or uniformly generated structures are fundamenta
Hateful meme classification aims to identify memes containing hateful content and has become increasingly important in the era of social media dominance. Large multimodal models (LMMs) have significantly enhanced the understanding of multimodal content, advancing this field. However, cognitive biase
The significance of visual emotion distribution learning (VEDL) has surged, particularly with the growing inclination to convey emotions through images. The key of VEDL lies in capturing both low- and high-level features within the same visual content, thus promoting the model for salient and subtle…
Sentiment analysis is rapidly advancing by utilizing various data modalities (e.g., text, video, and audio). However, most existing techniques only learn the atomic-level features that reflect strong correlations, while ignoring more complex compositions in multimodal data. Moreover, they also negle…
The need to analyze graphs is ubiquitous across various fields, from social networks to biological research and recommendation systems. Therefore, enabling the ability of large language models (LLMs) to process graphs is an important step toward more advanced general intelligence. However, current L…
Multimodal sarcasm detection, aiming to detect the ironic sentiment within multimodal social data, has gained substantial popularity in both the natural language processing and computer vision communities. Recently, graph-based studies by drawing sentimental relations to detect multimodal sarcasm ha…
Visual Grounding (VG) aims to locate the most relevant object or region in an image according to a natural language query. Existing methods in VG utilize fixed image and text representations to capture cross-modal semantic consistency, which limits the flexibility in adjusting image representations…
Dense video captioning aims to localize multiple events from an untrimmed video and generate corresponding captions for each event. Fusing different modalities(e.g. rgb, flow, audio) via transformer structure is a promising way to improve the caption performance. However, it is challenging for the c…
With the popularity of social media, detecting sentiment from multimodal posts (e.g. image-text pairs) has attracted substantial attention recently. Existing works mainly focus on fusing different features but ignore the challenge of modality heterogeneity. Specifically, different modalities with in…
