In recent years, multimodal intelligence has emerged as a groundbreaking field, with models that handle various types of information such as language, images, and audio being developed and deployed. Notable recent examples include OpenAI Sora/GPT-4V/o, Google Gemini, and Apple MM1, created on a large scale by industry, as well as open-source models from research labs. This workshop aims to bring together leading practitioners and researchers to share insights, discuss recent developments, and explore future directions in multimodal artificial intelligence. Additionally, it seeks to foster interaction and collaboration across diverse areas including natural language processing, computer vision, speech processing, and robotics.
