Multi Modal Instruction

Multi-modal instruction focuses on training large language models (LLMs) to understand and respond to instructions encompassing multiple data modalities, such as text, images, and audio. Current research emphasizes improving the quality and diversity of training datasets, developing novel model architectures that effectively integrate different modalities (often leveraging diffusion models and attention mechanisms), and creating robust evaluation benchmarks to assess performance across diverse tasks. This field is significant because it pushes the boundaries of AI's ability to interact with the world in a more human-like way, with potential applications ranging from image editing and video generation to robotic control and remote sensing analysis.
