Exam NCA-GENM Topic 1 Question 278 Discussion

Actual exam question for NVIDIA's NCA-GENM exam
Question #: 278
Topic #: 1
You're developing a multimodal model that takes both image and audio inputs to predict a relevant text description. You observe that the model is heavily biased towards the image data, effectively ignoring the audio input. Which of the following techniques could you employ to address this modality imbalance and ensure the model effectively utilizes both input modalities?

Suggested Answer: A,B,C,D Vote an answer

Increasing the learning rate for the audio pathway allows it to update its weights more aggressively, potentially counteracting the image bias. Applying modality-specific dropout to the image pathway forces the model to rely less on image features and more on audio. Oversampling the audio data ensures that the model sees more examples from the audio modality during training. Reducing the dimensionality of the image features can prevent them from dominating the fusion process. Increasing batch size is not specific to each modality and does not directly deal with modality imbalance, but can influence training dynamics.
