MSP: Modality Self-Play for Training Multimodal LLMs Without Paired Cross-Modal Data
arXiv:2610.20965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large multimodal models have achieved remarkable progress by scaling model capacity and training on massive paired multimodal data. However, this paradigm introduces a fundamental bottleneck: aligned multimodal datasets are expensive to curate, difficult to scale across diverse modality combinations, and increasingly constrain further progress. We introduce Modality Self-Play (MSP), a training framework for multimodal foundation models based on pr…
