Multimodal Image Classification/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multimodal Image Classification

Multimodal image classification extends standard visual classification by incorporating additional modalities — such as text captions, audio, or structured metadata — alongside image features. Separate encoders process each modality, their representations are fused, and a joint classifier assigns the target label. Models such as CLIP demonstrate that image–text alignment enables zero-shot and few-shot image classification at scale.
