摘要	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 attention mechanism, introduced by Bahdanau, Cho and Bengio in 2015 and refined by Luong, Pham and Manning the same year, lets a sequence decoder dynamically learn which of the encoder's outputs to focus on at each step. Before the Transformer, it substantially improved machine-translation quality by freeing models from compressing an entire input into a single fixed vector.	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.
