Segregate, Refine, Integrate: Decomposing Multimodal Fusion for Sentiment Analysis
Multimodal fusion must simultaneously refine modality-specific signals and model cross-modal interactions; two competing objectives typically entangled within the same operation. We propose \textbf{SeRIn} (\textbf{Se}gregate, \textbf{R}efine, \textbf{In}tegrate), a multimodal LM fusion scheme that enforces this separation as an architectural prior. Modality-specific representations evolve along isolated pathways, each refined against its respective encoder context, while a dedicated cross-modal pathway accumulates their joint evolution without contaminating unimodal streams. Full cross-modal i
Knowledge Knows, Verbalization Tells: Disentangling Latent Directions for Mathematical Solvability in LLMs
Although LLMs have made significant progress in mathematical reasoning, determining whether a mathematical problem is solvable remains a fundamental yet challenging capability. While recent studies have probed internal representations of model solvability beliefs, verbalization has primarily been studied behaviorally rather than as an internal representation, limiting its analysis and manipulation. We address this gap by separately probing representations of solvability knowledge and verbalization, allowing us to disentangle the two within model hidden states. Across multiple LLMs, we show tha
