Abstract

This study adopts modality-specific feature extraction for text, visual, and audio inputs.Task predictions and modality representations are embedded into an adaptive graph, which is further augmented by introducing an attenuated higher-order common-neighbour similarity matrix within a heterogeneous graph neural network.This formulation is used to guide node aggregation and to support interpretability through explicit graph-based relational modelling.Based on these components, an attention-aware graph embedding model is constructed for downstream analysis.Across the Alibaba and IMDB datasets, the proposed method achieves average gains of 6.13% (Macro-F1) and 6.57% (Micro-F1) over graph embedding baselines.On IMDB, it further improves accuracy by 4.1%, F1-score by 5.9%, and reduces mean absolute error by 6.2%.These results suggest that the proposed graph-based fusion strategy can provide measurable gains on the considered benchmarks while enabling adaptive estimation of inter-modal interaction weights.
