MTPareto: A MultiModal Targeted Pareto Framework for Fake News Detection

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Multimodal fake news detection is essential for maintaining the authenticity of Internet multimedia information. Significant differences in form and content of multimodal information lead to intensified optimization conflicts, hindering effective model training as well as reducing the effectiveness of existing fusion methods for bimodal. To address this problem, we propose the MTPareto framework to optimize multimodal fusion, using a Targeted Pareto(TPareto) optimization algorithm for fusion-level-specific objective learning with a certain focus. Based on the designed hierarchical fusion network, the algorithm defines three fusion levels with corresponding losses and implements all-modal-oriented Pareto gradient integration for each. This approach accomplishes superior multimodal fusion by utilizing the information obtained from intermediate fusion to provide positive effects to the entire process. Experiment results on FakeSV and FVC datasets show that the proposed framework outperforms baselines and the TPareto optimization algorithm achieves 2.40% and 1.89% accuracy improvement respectively.


MINT: a Multi-modal Image and Narrative Text Dubbing Dataset for Foley Audio Content Planning and Generation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Foley audio, critical for enhancing the immersive experience in multimedia content, faces significant challenges in the AI-generated content (AIGC) landscape. Despite advancements in AIGC technologies for text and image generation, the foley audio dubbing remains rudimentary due to difficulties in cross-modal scene matching and content correlation. Current text-to-audio technology, which relies on detailed and acoustically relevant textual descriptions, falls short in practical video dubbing applications. Existing datasets like AudioSet, AudioCaps, Clotho, Sound-of-Story, and WavCaps do not fully meet the requirements for real-world foley audio dubbing task. To address this, we introduce the Multi-modal Image and Narrative Text Dubbing Dataset (MINT), designed to enhance mainstream dubbing tasks such as literary story audiobooks dubbing, image/silent video dubbing. Besides, to address the limitations of existing TTA technology in understanding and planning complex prompts, a Foley Audio Content Planning, Generation, and Alignment (CPGA) framework is proposed, which includes a content planning module leveraging large language models for complex multi-modal prompts comprehension. Additionally, the training process is optimized using Proximal Policy Optimization based reinforcement learning, significantly improving the alignment and auditory realism of generated foley audio. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly advances the field of foley audio dubbing, providing robust solutions for the challenges of multi-modal dubbing. Even when utilizing the relatively lightweight GPT-2 model, our framework outperforms open-source multimodal large models such as LLaVA, DeepSeek-VL, and Moondream2.
