Image Meme

Image memes, multimodal combinations of text and images, are a focus of current research due to their prevalence in online communication and their potential for both positive and negative social impact. Researchers are employing deep learning architectures, including vision transformers and various fusion models, to analyze meme semantics, classify their emotional content (including hate speech detection), and even generate new memes. This work is significant for understanding online social dynamics, mitigating harmful content, and advancing multimodal learning techniques in computer vision and natural language processing.
