Papers with cross-modal projector
Controlling Multimodal Conversational Agents with Coverage-Enhanced Latent Actions (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent reinforcement learning (RL) has been widely explored for adapting MCAs to various human-AI interaction scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a latent action space for reinforcement learning instead of RL to fine-tune MCAs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines on two conversation tasks with a novel cycle consistency loss. |
ProtT3: Protein-to-Text Generation for Text-based Protein Understanding (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language Models excel in understanding textual descriptions of proteins, but struggle to process texts. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for Protein-to-Text Generation for Text-based Protein Understanding that integrates a PLM as its protein understanding module. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework surpasses existing baselines and is highly efficient in protein-to-text generation. |
Query-based Cross-Modal Projector Bolstering Mamba Multimodal LLM (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models that capture multiple modalities with a single input length are unable to handle this computational burden. |
| Approach: | They propose a query-based cross-modal projector that compresses visual tokens based on input through the cross-attention mechanism. |
| Outcome: | The proposed projector reduces the need for manually designing the 2D scan order of original image features when converting them into an input sequence for Mamba LLMs. |
MolCA: Molecular Graph-Language Modeling with Cross-Modal Projector and Uni-Modal Adapter (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language Models (LMs) have demonstrated impressive molecule understanding ability on 1D text-related tasks, but lack 2D graph perception, a critical ability of human professionals in comprehending molecules’ topological structures. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine a cross-modal projector and a uni-modal adapter to enable an LM to understand both text- and graph-based molecular contents via a Q-Former. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the baselines on tasks such as molecule captioning, IUPAC name prediction, and molecule-text retrieval. |
