Overview

  • The goal of multimodal alignment is to learn a single shared latent space between different input modalities, like images and text.
  • Current powerful multimodal models require massive datasets and computational resources to train, making them inaccessible for many practical use cases.
  • The authors propose FuseMix, a multimodal augmentation technique that can leverage pre-trained unimodal encoders to create effective multimodal models with much less data and compute.

Plain English Explanation

The researchers are working on a problem called multimodal alignment. The idea is to create a single “space” or representation that can capture the meanings and relationships between different types of input, like images and text. This shared space allows you to do …
