摘要	A Multimodal GAN is a generative adversarial network conditioned on — or jointly learning across — more than one data modality (e.g., text descriptions, images, audio, or structured data). By fusing information from multiple sources, the generator can synthesize realistic outputs that respect cross-modal constraints, enabling tasks such as text-to-image synthesis, image-to-audio generation, and joint modality imputation.	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.
