Our study delves into Multimodal Entity Linking, aligning the mention in multimodal information with entities in knowledge base. Existing methods are still facing challenges like ambiguous entity representations and limited image information utilization. Thus, we propose dynamic entity extraction using ChatGPT, which dynamically extracts entities and enhances datasets. We also propose a method: Dynamically Integrate Multimodal information with knowledge base (DIM), employing the capability of the Large Language Model (LLM) for visual understanding. The LLM, such as BLIP-2, extracts information relevant to entities in the image, which can facilitate improved extraction of entity features and linking them with the dynamic entity representations provided by ChatGPT. The experiments demonstrate that our proposed DIM method outperforms the majority of existing methods on the three original datasets, and achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) on the dynamically enhanced datasets (Wiki+, Rich+, Diverse+). For reproducibility, our code and collected datasets are released on \url{https://github.com/season1blue/DIM}.

Real-world datasets usually are class-imbalanced and corrupted by label noise. To solve the joint issue of long-tailed distribution and label noise, most previous works usually aim to design a noise detector to distinguish the noisy and clean samples. Despite their effectiveness, they may be limited in handling the joint issue effectively in a unified way. In this work, we develop a novel pseudo labeling method using class prototypes from the perspective of distribution matching, which can be solved with optimal transport (OT). By setting a manually-specific probability measure and using a learned transport plan to pseudo-label the training samples, the proposed method can reduce the side-effects of noisy and long-tailed data simultaneously. Then we introduce a simple yet effective filter criteria by combining the observed labels and pseudo labels to obtain a more balanced and less noisy subset for a robust model training. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method can extract this class-balanced subset with clean labels, which brings effective performance gains for long-tailed classification with label noise.
