Can we build multimodal models by simply aligning pretrained unimodal models with limited paired data?

We introduce STRUCTURE 🏗️: a lightweight, plug-and-play regularizer that preserves latent geometry to align frozen unimodal models using <1% of paired data typically used in the field #AI #MachineLearning #MultimodalAlignment

🚀 +51.6% avg boost in zero-shot classification
🔍 +91.8% in retrieval tasks

Very proud of the fantastic team @FabianGroger @ShuoWen18 Huyen Le

Why are there intronic reads in your bulk RNA-seq data?
You're not alone—it's common, and the reasons are more layered than you think.
Let’s break it down. 🧵
