สรุป	Multimodal GRU extends the Gated Recurrent Unit architecture to jointly process sequential data from multiple input modalities — such as text, audio, and video frames — within a single recurrent framework. By fusing modality-specific encodings at the input or hidden-state level, it captures temporal dependencies across heterogeneous data streams and is widely used in multimodal sentiment analysis, video understanding, 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.
