สรุป	Multimodal question answering (Multimodal QA) is a class of deep-learning methods that answer natural-language questions by jointly reasoning over information from multiple modalities — most commonly text and images, but also video, audio, and structured tables. Introduced prominently through the VQA benchmark in 2015, it has since expanded into a broad research area powering document understanding, medical diagnosis assistance, and embodied AI.	Multimodal BERT-based classification extends the BERT transformer architecture to jointly encode and classify data from multiple modalities — most commonly text paired with images — by fusing their representations before a final classification head. Introduced prominently around 2019 through models such as MMBT and ViLBERT, it has become a standard approach for tasks where neither text nor image alone carries sufficient information for accurate labeling.
