สรุป	A Multimodal Graph Neural Network (MM-GNN) combines data from multiple modalities — such as text, images, and structured features — into a unified graph structure and applies graph-based message passing to learn joint representations. It enables relational reasoning across heterogeneous data sources, going beyond what unimodal or simple concatenation approaches can capture.	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.
