Abstract
Recent advancements in multimodal deep learning have garnered significant attention from both academia and industry due to their
exceptional accuracy and ability to learn rich knowledge representations. In particular, contrastive learning based approaches have played
a pivotal role in dramatically enhancing the performance of multimodal deep learning. However, the use of multiple data sources in
multimodal deep learning increases the risk of inferring sensitive information through data fusion, posing a higher privacy invasion attack
compared to unimodal deep learning. This challenge cannot be fully addressed by privacy preserving techniques traditionally employed
in unimodal deep learning, underscoring the growing importance of privacy protection in this domain. To address this issue, previous
studies have relied on trusted execution environments or strengthened security by selectively recording data classified as privacy
threatening. However, these approaches face limitations such as hardware dependency, performance degradation, and accuracy issues
in data classification. These shortcomings hinder scalability and usability while leaving systems vulnerable to emerging threats. In this
study, we address the privacy concerns by applying the Double Randomized Response algorithm, which ensures label differential privacy
during the data preparation process. As a result, we achieved 80.14% accuracy in image-table matching and classification tasks,
demonstrating a balance between privacy protection and performance. This method is the first to incorporate data security considerations
into multimodal deep learning models while substantiating its efficacy, marking a significant contribution to the field.
