What is Multimodal Deep Learning and why is it important for next-generation AI systems?

Multimodal Deep Learning combines multiple data modalities such as text, images, audio, and video into unified AI systems capable of richer contextual understanding.

Human intelligence integrates information across many sensory modalities simultaneously. Traditional AI systems were modality-specific:

Multimodal AI unifies these modalities into shared representation spaces.

Core modalities:
