Outline

In this paper, we propose a novel framework, MMiC, to address the missing modality problem in multimodal federated learning (MFL), a distributed learning method that uses data of various modalities. MMiC mitigates the impact of missing modalities by replacing partial parameters of client models within a cluster, optimizes client selection using the Banzhaf Power Index, and dynamically controls global aggregation using Markovitz Portfolio Optimization. Experimental results show that MMiC outperforms existing federated learning architectures in both global and personalized performance on multimodal datasets with missing modalities.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
An Effective Solution to the Missing Modality Problem in Multimodal Federated Learning
Improved global and personalized performance through the MMiC framework
Effective application of Banzhaf Power Index and Markovitz Portfolio Optimization to federated learning
Increasing the practicality of federated learning using multimodality data
Limitations:
The performance of the proposed framework may depend on specific datasets and experimental settings.
The complexity of MMiC may increase computational costs.
Generalization performance evaluation for various types of modality omission patterns is needed.
Further research is needed on applicability and scalability in real environments.
