Remote sensing image fusion and semantic interpretation are usually optimized separately, so reconstruction quality need not preserve downstream retrieval utility. We propose LANCE, which uses structured language as an explicit, indexable semantic state. A frozen vision-language model maps the input to a closed-vocabulary text record; a language-conditioned generator fuses the imagery; and a dense verifier with a differentiable continuous summarizer re-describes the output. Text-text consistency and anti-collapse contrastive text-mask losses with negative queries close the loop without dense annotations or VLM fine-tuning. A variational EM formulation yields a per-step contraction result under regularity assumptions, distinguishing semantic faithfulness from verifier overfitting. Across seven test sets on GF2, QuickBird, WorldView-III, and WorldView-II, LANCE improves reduced-scale reference metrics by up to 11.7% (median 2.1%) over the strongest learning baseline. Independent evaluation using a held-out VLM and a supervised aerial detector yields gains of +6.4 mAP and +0.072 open-vocabulary F1 over the closest competitor. Text perturbations, cross-verifier transfer, and pseudo-RGB ablations examine the mechanisms underlying these gains. The framework connects image fusion to verifiable semantic representations for multimodal retrieval and knowledge management.
We introduce DeepInterestGR, a novel framework that integrates deep interest mining into the generative recommendation pipeline. This addresses the "Shallow Interest" problem: existing generative methods rely on surface-level textual features and fail to capture latent user motivations, limiting personalization depth and recommendation interpretability. Our approach leverages Multi-LLM Interest Mining (MLIM) via structured reasoning prompting, Reward-Labeled Deep Interest (RLDI) for quality control, and Interest-Enhanced Item Discretization (IEID) via RQ-VAE, combined with a two-stage SFT-GRPO training pipeline guided by an Interest-Aware Reward. We validate DeepInterestGR on three Amazon Review benchmarks (Beauty, Sports, Instruments), comparing against 14 state-of-the-art baselines including SASRec, BERT4Rec, TIGER, LC-Rec, and S-DPO. Our method achieves 12.4%-15.4% relative improvements on HR@10 and 15.5%-17.9% on NDCG@10, with cross-domain generalization gains of +24.8%. To our knowledge, this is the first work to demonstrate such significant gains by incorporating deep semantic interests into generative recommendation.
Multimodal Emotion Recognition (MER) systems often suffer from missing modalities in real-world scenarios. Existing methods usually generate, align, or distill missing modalities as a whole, overlooking the heterogeneous nature of the information carried by each modality. Such holistic treatment mixes inferable shared semantics with uncertain modality-specific details, yielding unstable representations and degrading robustness. To address this issue, we propose the Primitive Memory Distillation (PriMD) framework. Unlike existing methods, PriMD takes an intra-modal perspective and focuses on how different types of information within a modality differ in recoverability. PriMD first disentangles cross-modal shared semantics from modality-specific representations, and then discretizes the latter into learnable semantic primitives to construct modality-specific memory banks. When modalities are missing, PriMD is a teacher-student framework that the student model uses the shared semantics of available modalities as queries to dynamically retrieve primitives. It compensates for missing modality-specific information within a constrained memory space and aligns with the teacher model. Extensive experiments on IEMOCAP, CMU-MOSI, and CMU-MOSEI demonstrate that PriMD achieves state-of-the-art performance and consistently stronger robustness across a wide range of missing-modality settings, while mitigating the instability caused by holistic feature inference.
