This paper proposes a novel approach called Hierarchical Multi-modal Transformer (HMT) for cross-modal long document classification, which effectively utilizes both text and image features in documents with hierarchical structures. The HMT conducts multi-modal feature interaction and fusion between images and texts in a hierarchical manner using a multi-modal transformer and dynamic mask transfer module. Experimental results on four datasets show that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art single-modality and multi-modality methods.

Long documents contain both text and image features, which can provide valuable information for classification tasks. However, current approaches only focus on short texts and images of pages. This paper aims to address this limitation by introducing a new method called Hierarchical Multi-modal Transformer (HMT) that combines text and image features in a hierarchical manner. The HMT uses a multi-modal transformer and dynamic mask transfer module to integrate the two modalities, allowing it to capture complex relationships between them.
