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.	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.
