## ✨ Overview

</p>
**CalMRL** is a multimodal representation learning framework designed for alignment calibration when some modalities are missing.
CalMRL combines two complementary goals:
- **Cross-modal alignment** for robust shared representations
- **Missing-modality calibration** through posterior inference and learned generative parameters
---
## 🎯 Key Features
🔄 **Partial-Modality Learning**
- Handles missing video, audio, text, or subtitle signals
- Supports posterior-based feature completion with learned modality-specific parameters
🎯 **Multimodal Retrieval**
- Joint training over text-video, text-audio, text-video-audio, and subtitle-aware setups
- Config-driven recipes for pretraining, finetuning, and evaluation
🧠 **Feature Calibration**
- Uses latent posterior inference for modality completion
- Includes a warmup pipeline to estimate `W`, `mu`, and `log_sigma`
---
## 🏗️ Architecture
The current codebase is organized around three main stages:
1. **🔧 Multimodal Encoding**: Video, audio, text, and subtitle features are extracted with VAST-style encoders.
2. **🧮 Representation Calibration**: Shared embeddings are aligned while latent posterior inference estimates missing information.
3. **🔄 Downstream Evaluation**: Retrieval and other tasks are executed through a unified config-driven pipeline.
