Content

Our world and perception consist of various modalities ranging from image, video, sound, and text to senses, which make a complete picture of our surroundings. Similarly, recent trends in deep learning focus on multi-modal data beyond Vision and NLP models. Current advancement of large multi-modal like Pali[1], ImageBind[2], and Segment Anything[3] shows visual features conjugation with text, depth, and 3D features, showing remarkable robustness and scalability across domains. A large model like Pali-X shows extraordinary abilities to understand images, videos, and documents and could achieve state-of-the-art results on OCR, VQA, and few or zero-shot generalizations. On the other hand, models like Segment Anything could detect thousands of concepts based on user prompts.

This seminar will explore various multimodal model and the recent trends ranging from their architecture, training, and type of modality. We will also study their advantage and how they can be more generalizable toward a seen/unseen in-context understanding of their prospects.
