Evolution of the MAD as a function of redshift for the multimodal model with one modality dropped at a time. All the single-band modalities dropped are shown with gray lines as they show similar performances. We also include, for comparison, the baseline model (single modality, dash-dotted cyan line), the reference multimodal model (dash-dotted black line), and the multimodal model trained with dropout but with no modality dropped in the test (dash-dotted dark red line). Finally, we have the different two-band modalities dropped one at a time. Labels on the left panel are ranked according to their mean MAD. The gray histogram shows the redshift distribution of the HSC nine-band test sample. The test objects are evenly distributed between the line points, which are slightly shifted on the x axis for better visual distinctiveness. The horizontal lines on the right represent the mean MAD of each experiment.
