Abstract

To address the lack of fine-grained semantics and inconsistent multimodal representations in existing multimodal named entity recognition methods, this paper proposes a multi-granularity progressive fusion approach for multimodal named entity recognition. First, the proposed framework incorporates a dynamic gated filtering mechanism to selectively extract visual region features relevant to textual semantics via cross-modal dynamic weighting. Additionally, the framework integrates cross-modal alignment and adversarial perturbation mechanisms to strengthen consistency and generalization between textual features and global visual representations. Second, a multi-level progressive fusion network is designed to construct a noise-suppressed and semantically enhanced multi-granularity representation learning system. This architecture hierarchically integrates text-level, text-region image-level, and text-global image-level features through a parallel multi-stage fusion strategy, effectively combining hierarchical feature vectors across different granularities. Extensive experiments conducted on the Twitter-2015 and Twitter-2017 benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves average F1 score improvements of 0.89% and 1.08%, respectively, compared with other multimodal named entity recognition approaches, which confirms the model's effectiveness in named entity recognition tasks.
