Multimodal data

Q: How deeply does WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites cover multimodal data?

Defines multimodal inputs and illustrates their sources, but stops short of explaining implementation details or model architecture.

As explained in WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites

Multimodal input is information supplied to an AI system through multiple modalities, such as text, images, audio, or video.

Multimodal data combines information from different channels, such as text, images, audio, or video. AI systems increasingly learn from these varied inputs rather than relying only on written text. section 9.11

This broader input can connect AI systems with real-world activity and richer communication. It also supports current-information gathering from sources beyond traditional web pages. section 9.11 section 11.1

Common modalities include:

Written language, including web pages and other human communications. section 9.11
Images and video, including traffic-camera footage and YouTube content. section 9.11
Audio, including podcasts and other recorded communication. section 9.11

A wider information stream

An AI system may learn from written web content while also processing traffic-camera images, podcasts, and YouTube videos. When answering a recent question, it may additionally use a browser-like search tool to consult current web sources. section 9.11 section 11.1
