You are working with a multimodal dataset containing medical images (X-rays) and corresponding patient reports (text). Some of the reports are missing or incomplete. Which of the following strategies would be most appropriate to handle this missing data in a multimodal AI model?
Correct Answer: C
Using a multimodal autoencoder or a masked language model allows the model to leverage the relationship between the image and text modalities to infer the missing information. Discarding data or using simple imputation methods can lead to information loss or biased results. A multimodal autoencoder or masked language model can help to reconstruct the missing reports from the available image data, or using a masked language model to predict missing words in the existing reports, conditioned on the image.
