The current era is witnessing a significant revolution in artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with the expansion of multimodal models beyond straightforward predictions on tabular data. These models can comprehend multiple data modalities simultaneously and generate more accurate predictions than traditional counterparts, leading to a 35% annual growth in the multimodal AI market by 2028, valued at USD 4.5 billion. Multimodal models are revolutionizing human-AI interaction by allowing users and businesses to implement AI in complex environments requiring an advanced understanding of real-world data. These models can perform various tasks such as visual question-answering (VQA), image-to-text and text-to-image search, generative AI, and image segmentation, and top multimodal models include CLIP, DALL-E, and LLaVA. However, building these models comes with challenges such as data availability, annotation, and model complexity, which can be overcome using modern learning techniques, automated labeling tools, and regularization methods.
