MINT: a Multi-modal Image and Narrative Text Dubbing Dataset for Foley Audio Content Planning and Generation

Ruibo Fu, Shuchen Shi, Hongming Guo et al.

Foley audio, critical for enhancing the immersive experience in multimedia content, faces significant challenges in the AI-generated content (AIGC) landscape. Despite advancements in AIGC technologies for text and image generation, the foley audio dubbing remains rudimentary due to difficulties in cross-modal scene matching and content correlation. Current text-to-audio technology, which relies on detailed and acoustically relevant textual descriptions, falls short in practical video dubbing applications. Existing datasets like AudioSet, AudioCaps, Clotho, Sound-of-Story, and WavCaps do not fully meet the requirements for real-world foley audio dubbing task. To address this, we introduce the Multi-modal Image and Narrative Text Dubbing Dataset (MINT), designed to enhance mainstream dubbing tasks such as literary story audiobooks dubbing, image/silent video dubbing. Besides, to address the limitations of existing TTA technology in understanding and planning complex prompts, a Foley Audio Content Planning, Generation, and Alignment (CPGA) framework is proposed, which includes a content planning module leveraging large language models for complex multi-modal prompts comprehension. Additionally, the training process is optimized using Proximal Policy Optimization based reinforcement learning, significantly improving the alignment and auditory realism of generated foley audio. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly advances the field of foley audio dubbing, providing robust solutions for the challenges of multi-modal dubbing. Even when utilizing the relatively lightweight GPT-2 model, our framework outperforms open-source multimodal large models such as LLaVA, DeepSeek-VL, and Moondream2. The dataset is available at https://github.com/borisfrb/MINT .

Multimodal Fusion for Fine-Grained Classification of Breast Fibroadenoma and Phyllodes Tumors

Chuxi Nan, Di Wu, Hongming Guo et al.

Breast fibroadenoma (FA) and phyllodes tumor (PT) are fibroepithelial breast lesions with highly overlapping appearances on B-mode ultrasound, making benign and borderline PT prone to being misclassified as FA and complicating preoperative decision-making. Existing computer-aided diagnosis methods commonly rely on single-modal imaging features and insufficiently exploit complementary clinical and textual information. To address this limitation, we construct the FAPT-M Dataset, a pathology-confirmed multimodal dataset comprising 910 patients with strictly reviewed ultrasound images, structured clinical attributes, and ultrasound diagnostic descriptions. Based on this dataset, we propose a clinically guided multimodal framework that integrates DenseNet-based visual encoding, CLIP-inspired text encoding, and lightweight clinical encoding, and further introduces clinical-conditioned adaptive modulation, cross-modal Transformer fusion, and dual-path representation learning to improve feature alignment and multimodal interaction. Under patient-level five-fold cross-validation, the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 77.64%, F1-score of 73.38%, and AUC of 89.74%, outperforming representative CNN-, Transformer-, and vision-language-based baselines. Ablation studies and class-balanced evaluations further confirm the contribution of three-modality fusion and the key architectural components. Overall, this work provides an effective multimodal approach for fine-grained FA-PT classification and establishes a high-quality benchmark for multimodal breast ultrasound analysis.
