สรุป	Multimodal LSTM extends the standard Long Short-Term Memory network to jointly process sequential data from multiple input modalities — such as text, audio, and video — within a unified recurrent architecture. By fusing representations from different sources before or within the LSTM cells, it captures temporal dependencies that span and cross modalities, making it a foundational approach for tasks like sentiment analysis, video captioning, and affective computing.	The Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), introduced by Cho et al. in 2014, is a streamlined recurrent neural network that uses two learned gates — an update gate and a reset gate — to selectively retain or discard information across time steps, enabling effective sequence modelling with fewer parameters than LSTM.	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.
