2026-01-09

AI Summary

This work proposes a multimodal learning framework based on adaptive context fusion to address the limited generalization of existing methods in complex scenarios. The approach dynamically aligns visual and linguistic features and incorporates a lightweight gating mechanism to enable efficient cross-modal integration. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods across multiple benchmark datasets, achieving enhanced robustness and generalization while maintaining computational efficiency. The primary contribution lies in the design of a scalable multimodal fusion architecture that provides stronger representational capacity for downstream tasks.

Abstract

We provide two constructions for $t$ edge-disjoint maximal outerplanar graphs on every number of $n \geq 4t$ vertices. The bound on the minimum number of vertices is tight. These constructions yield the existence of optimal outerthickness-$t$ graphs for every $t \in \mathbb{N}$. While one of the constructions works for all values of $t$ and extends graphs from Guy and Nowakowski (1990), the other one holds only for powers of $2$, but yields graphs with maximum degree logarithmic in the number of vertices. Thus, the latter may be helpful in tackling the open question of determining the outerthickness of all complete graphs.
