Robustness of Fine-Tuned Llms Under Noisy Retrieval Inputs: Multimodal Alignment and Information Fusion

Abstract

Multimodal claims depend on alignment quality, the contribution of each information source, and the behavior of the system when one modality is noisy or missing. This structured evidence review evaluates "Robustness of Fine-Tuned Llms Under Noisy Retrieval Inputs" alongside nine author-disjoint, topically matched publications in reliable retrieval-augmented generation. It compares construct definitions, evaluation choices, operating assumptions, and reported limitations instead of treating bibliographic similarity as empirical equivalence. Viewed through multimodal alignment and information fusion, the map separates claims supported by the available record from questions that still require full-text extraction, replication, or new experiments. The synthesis is interpretive rather than meta-analytic and therefore does not present a pooled effect estimate or a new causal result. The resulting agenda measures alignment error, missing-modality behavior, fusion ablations, and uncertainty carried across modalities.
