Multimodal Recurrent Neural Network

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.
