Robustness in Multimodal Learning under Train-Test Modality Mismatch

Multimodal learning is defined as learning over multiple heterogeneous input modalities such as video, audio, and text. In this work, we are concerned with understanding how models behave as the type of modalities differ between training and deployment, a situation that naturally arises in many applications of multimodal learning to hardware platforms. We present a …

Learning Language-Specific Layers for Multilingual Machine Translation

Multilingual Machine Translation promises to improve translation quality between non-English languages. This is advantageous for several reasons, namely lower latency (no need to translate twice), and reduced error cascades (e.g. , avoiding losing gender and formality information when translating through English). On the downside, adding more languages reduces model capacity per language, which is usually …
