Towards Understanding Modality Interaction in Multimodal Language Models via Partial Information Decomposition

1. 1Apply Partial Information Decomposition to separate unique, redundant, and synergistic contributions of sensory and linguistic inputs
2. 2Analyze modality-use profiles across vision-language benchmarks
3. 3Evaluate the effectiveness of PID in improving model reliability
4. 4Integrate PID into the development pipeline of multimodal language models
5. 5Test the robustness of PID across different datasets and models

Data scientists and AI engineers working on multimodal large language models can benefit from this framework to understand and improve modality interaction, leading to more reliable model deployment

💡 PID helps separate unique, redundant, and synergistic contributions of sensory and linguistic inputs, enabling more reliable model deployment
