Abstract

Current image watermarking technologies are predominantly categorized into text watermarking techniques and image steganography; however, few methods can simultaneously handle text and image-based watermark data, which limits their applicability in complex digital environments. This paper introduces an innovative multi-modal watermarking approach, drawing on the concept of vector discretization in encoder-based vector quantization. By constructing adjacency matrices, the proposed method enables the transformation of text watermarks into robust image-based representations, providing a novel multi-modal watermarking paradigm for image generation applications. Additionally, this study presents a newly designed image restoration module to mitigate image degradation caused by transmission losses and various noise interferences, thereby ensuring the reliability and integrity of the watermark. Experimental results validate the robustness of the method under multiple noise attacks, providing a secure, scalable, and efficient solution for digital image copyright protection.

AGF-Net: A Robust Multimodal Emotion Recognition Model for Asynchronous Audio-Visual Signals Based on Predictive Dynamic Fusion with Negative Learning

This study develops an audio-visual emotion recognition system that integrates automatic utterance segmentation with multimodal fusion. Unlike conventional methods that rely on manually annotated utterance boundaries, the proposed system automatically generates candidate segments from continuous dialogue and extracts the corresponding audio and visual features for emotion classification. To address the challenges introduced by automatic segmentation, the proposed AGF-Net integrates Audio-Guided Fusion (AGF), Multimodal Negative Learning (MNL), and Predictive Dynamic Fusion (PDF) to improve cross-modal fusion, modality balance, and robustness to varying modality quality. Experimental results show that AGF-Net achieves 64.92% Accuracy and 65.47% F1-score under clean conditions, 62.13% Accuracy and 63.08% F1-score under moderate noise, and 58.19% Accuracy and 59.41% F1-score under higher noise. Overall, the proposed framework reduces reliance on manually annotated utterance boundaries and maintains competitive performance under automatically segmented and noisy audio-visual inputs.

Guess and Send: World-Model-Guided Semantic Packet Transmission for Robust Video Perception

Reliable video perception over bandwidth-constrained wireless links requires transmitting information that the receiver cannot already recover from its evolving scene representation. This paper introduces WorldGT, a world-model-guided semantic packet transmission framework that prioritizes information according to its contribution to the receiver's perception. A shared feature-space world model predicts the receiver's scene state through affine motion compensation and learned residual displacement, while sender-side verification identifies reusable predictions. An acknowledgment-synchronized receiver twin estimates task-impact scores through two counterfactual evaluations, guiding packet selection and unequal error protection over LDPC-coded wireless channels. A compact 3-bit feature representation increases spatial coverage under stringent bandwidth constraints, while predictive fallback sustains perception during packet outages. Experiments on KITTI and VisDrone under Rayleigh fading and AWGN demonstrate substantial gains in low-SNR conditions. On KITTI at a 4.13% reference bandwidth budget, WorldGT achieves 47.5% J&F at 0 dB Rayleigh SNR, outperforming H.264 by 11.3 percentage points. Controlled ablations show that world-model prediction contributes up to 8.7 points under Rayleigh fading. Object-detection experiments further demonstrate the transferability of receiver-relative predictive transmission across visual perception tasks. These results establish world-model-guided, receiver-state-aware transmission as an effective approach to robust video perception under severe communication constraints.

A Survey of Generative Categories and Techniques in Multimodal Generative Models

Multimodal generative models (MGMs) have rapidly expanded beyond text generation to encompass images, music, video, human motion, and 3D objects. This survey categorises six primary text-conditioned generative modalities and examines how four techniques, namely self-supervised learning, mixture of experts, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and chain-of-thought prompting, are adapted across them, distinguishing shared mechanisms from experimentally supported benefits. We organise evaluation around faithfulness, compositionality, and robustness, and interpret evidence within each study's protocol. Selected within-study comparisons reported in the reviewed literature support four findings: preference gains need not improve text relevance, and reward optimisation can reduce within-prompt diversity; intermediate plans require tests of their realisation in final outputs; expert granularity changes the mechanism and its storage, computation, and runtime costs; and gains against an optimisation score need confirmation outside that scoring path. We further analyse trustworthiness risks, including bias, privacy leakage, and misuse of generated media, and examine the evidence for mitigation strategies.
