Multimodal BERT-based Classification/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multimodal BERT-based Classification

Multimodal BERT-based classification extends the BERT transformer architecture to jointly encode and classify data from multiple modalities — most commonly text paired with images — by fusing their representations before a final classification head. Introduced prominently around 2019 through models such as MMBT and ViLBERT, it has become a standard approach for tasks where neither text nor image alone carries sufficient information for accurate labeling.
