📝 摘要（中文）
多模态意图识别结合了语言、声学和视觉证据，但各个模态可能存在噪声、缺失、语义冲突或不成比例的主导性。现有方法通常隐式推断模态重要性，通过重加权或抑制不可靠输入，而未能判断降级模态是否可以修复并重新信任。我们提出了PRIME（精确加权可靠性推断与模态恢复），一个闭环的可靠性引导框架，能够在样本级别上联合诊断、恢复和重新评估模态质量。PRIME通过上下文对数方差表示每个模态的弱点，并利用预测置信度、认知不一致性、跨模态共识和特征退化等补充诊断证据进行估计。实验结果表明，PRIME在缺失、噪声、冲突和模态不平衡条件下提高了鲁棒性，同时在干净数据上保持了竞争力的性能。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义：本论文旨在解决多模态意图识别中模态可靠性不足的问题。现有方法往往无法有效处理模态的噪声、缺失和语义冲突，导致识别性能下降。
核心思路：PRIME框架通过精确加权的可靠性推断与模态恢复，联合诊断模态质量并进行修复，确保系统在面对不可靠模态时仍能做出准确预测。
技术框架：PRIME的整体架构包括模态质量诊断、模态恢复和后续的可靠性重新评估三个主要模块。首先，通过上下文对数方差估计模态的弱点；然后，利用变分恢复模块重建降级的模态表示；最后，重新评估修复后的模态是否值得信任。
关键创新：PRIME的创新之处在于其闭环机制，能够在模态恢复后重新评估模态的可靠性，而不是简单地丢弃不可靠的模态。这种方法使得系统能够动态适应不同模态的质量变化。
关键设计：PRIME采用了异方差不确定性目标进行训练，利用已知的模态降级程度进行控制。此外，设计了基于原型条件的变分恢复模块，以实现对降级表示的有效重建。具体的损失函数和网络结构设计确保了模型在多模态融合时的高效性与准确性。

🎯 应用场景
该研究在多模态意图识别领域具有广泛的应用潜力，尤其适用于人机交互、智能助手和自动驾驶等场景。通过提高系统对模态不可靠性的适应能力，PRIME能够显著提升用户体验和系统的整体性能，未来可能推动相关技术的进一步发展与应用。
📄 摘要（原文）
Multimodal intent recognition combines linguistic, acoustic, and visual evidence, but individual modalities may be noisy, missing, semantically conflicting, or disproportionately dominant. Existing methods typically infer modality importance implicitly and either reweight or suppress unreliable inputs, without determining whether a degraded modality can be repaired and subsequently trusted. We propose PRIME (Precision-weighted Reliability Inference and Modality rEstoration), a closed-loop reliability guided framework that jointly diagnoses, restores, and reassesses modality quality at the sample level. PRIME represents the weakness of each modality through a contextual log-variance estimated from complementary diagnostic evidence, including predictive confidence, epistemic disagreement, cross-modal consensus, and feature degeneracy. Because modality-reliability annotations are unavailable, the estimator is explicitly trained using controlled modality corruption with known degradation severity, together with a heteroscedastic uncertainty objective. Rather than directly discarding an unreliable modality, PRIME uses its estimated weakness to control a prototype-conditioned variational restoration module that reconstructs the degraded representation from complementary modalities. Crucially, reliability is re-estimated after restoration, allowing the model to determine whether the repaired representation has become sufficiently trustworthy to contribute to prediction. The resulting post-restoration precisions are used for inverse-variance multimodal fusion. Experiments on multimodal intent-recognition benchmarks show that PRIME maintains competitive clean-data performance while improving robustness under missing, noisy, conflicting, and modality-imbalanced conditions.
