摘要	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 Recurrent Neural Network combines inputs from two or more data modalities — such as images, text, and audio — within a recurrent sequence-processing framework. It encodes each modality separately, fuses the representations, and then processes the combined signal through recurrent units (RNN, LSTM, or GRU) to generate or classify sequential outputs. This design made it a foundational approach in image captioning, video description, and audio-visual speech recognition.
