The imbalance problem is widespread in the field of machine learning, which also exists in multimodal learning areas caused by the intrinsic discrepancy between modalities of samples. Recent works have attempted to solve the modality imbalance problem from algorithm perspective, however, they do not fully analyze the influence of modality bias in datasets. Concretely, existing multimodal datasets are usually collected under specific tasks, where one modality tends to perform better than other ones in most conditions. In this work, to comprehensively explore the influence of modality bias, we first split existing datasets into different subsets by estimating sample-wise modality discrepancy. We surprisingly find that: the multimodal models with existing imbalance algorithms consistently perform worse than the unimodal one on specific subsets, in accordance with the modality bias. To further explore the influence of modality bias and analyze the effectiveness of existing imbalance algorithms, we build a balanced audiovisual dataset, with uniformly distributed modality discrepancy over the whole dataset. We then conduct extensive experiments to re-evaluate existing imbalance algorithms and draw some interesting findings: existing algorithms only provide a compromise between modalities and suffer from the large modality discrepancy of samples. We hope that these findings could facilitate future research on the modality imbalance problem.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Code Syntology ran Syntology

4 samples harvested; 3 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 1 has no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-24; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.

Licence: 2 of the 4 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from gewu-lab/ogm-ge_cvpr2022. Some samples are identical code Syntology first harvested from another repository; for those, this paper's copy is not located and its licence is not recorded. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
