Unified Multimodal Transformers for Joint Semantic Segmentation and Caption Generation
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Multimodal Deep Learning
DOI: https://doi.org/10.64388/IREV8I3-1722541
Abstract
We propose a unified multimodal transformer with a mixture-of-experts (MoE) core for joint semantic segmentation and caption generation. A ConvNeXt-B visual encoder and a T5 text encoder feed a shared MoE block whose experts specialize by modality and task, routed dynamically per token. On LVIS and NYU-Depth v2 the model attains 70.9% mIoU and a BLEU-4 of 34, improving over a strong generative baseline while keeping active compute modest through sparse routing.
