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.	The Multimodal Variational Autoencoder (MVAE) is a deep generative model that learns a shared latent representation across two or more data modalities — such as images and captions — using a product-of-experts fusion of modality-specific encoders, enabling generation and inference even when only a subset of modalities is observed at test time.
