arXiv:2610.14770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal contrastive learning typically relies on manually specified scoring functions, such as cosine similarity, to quantify the similarity between representations from different modalities. Several such functions have been recently proposed to extend contrastive learning beyond two modalities. In principle, however, any function that assigns high compatibility to matched samples and low compatibility to mismatched ones could serve as a scorer. Motivated by this broader view, we instantiate the scorer with a Transformer and find that even a
