خلاصه	A Multimodal Recurrent Neural Network combines inputs from two or more data modalities — such as images, text, and audio — within a recurrent sequence-processing framework. It encodes each modality separately, fuses the representations, and then processes the combined signal through recurrent units (RNN, LSTM, or GRU) to generate or classify sequential outputs. This design made it a foundational approach in image captioning, video description, and audio-visual speech recognition.	A Multimodal Transformer extends the standard Transformer architecture to process and jointly reason over two or more input modalities — most commonly text and images, but also audio, video, or structured data. Cross-modal attention layers allow information from one modality to inform representations in another, enabling tasks such as visual question answering, image captioning, and multimodal sentiment analysis.
