More Perspectives, Stronger Signals: Multi-Perspective Enhancement and Progressive Fusion for Multimodal Entity Representation Learning

Abstract

Learning effective multimodal entity representations is fundamental for reasoning tasks such as multimodal knowledge graph completion (MMKGC). However, existing methods often suffer from semantic over-smoothing within modalities and ineffective noise filtration across modalities, particularly under sparse or ambiguous conditions. To overcome these limitations, we propose PrismF, a unified framework that synergizes multi-perspective enhancement with progressive fusion to extract stronger signals from diverse inputs. PrismF enhances fine-grained intra-modal semantics through a multi-perspective mechanism that decomposes each modality into complementary views and constrains them with a decoupling loss to reduce representation collapse. Furthermore, it improves cross-modal integration through a progressive fusion strategy that dynamically calibrates inter-modal interactions, enabling the model to emphasize informative signals while suppressing noisy or unreliable ones. Extensive experiments on three public benchmarks show that PrismF achieves the strongest overall performance, including relative improvements of 4.04% in MRR and 11.17% in Hits@1 on KVC16K.
