RMS@CC-MMD 2026: Multimodal Misogyny Detection via Geometric Interaction and Multi-View Consensus
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
The proliferation of internet memes has introduced new complexities to automated content moderation, particularly in detecting misogyny. Memes often rely on a semantic clash between visual and textual modalities, where hateful intent is implicit and culturally grounded. This paper presents GeoMVC (Geometric Interaction and Multi-View Consensus), developed for the CC-MMD Grand Challenge at ICMI 2026. To address the limitations of static feature concatenation, a Geometric Interaction Layer is proposed that models cross-modal alignment via Hadamard products and cosine similarity between frozen visual and textual embeddings. We further mitigate distribution shifts caused by noisy OCR and code-mixed transliteration through a Multi-View Consensus strategy, aggregating predictions across raw, length-filtered, and English-translated text views. The system achieved Rank 2 in the Malayalam partition (Macro F1: 0.892) and Rank 3 in the Chinese partition (Macro F1: 0.895) on Task A, while securing Rank 5 in the Tamil partition (Macro F1: 0.521). A detailed error analysis on the development partition highlights open challenges in modeling localized transliteration and code-mixed sarcasm across Dravidian and Chinese cultural contexts.
