ISTD PhD Oral Defense presented by Li Xu – Towards Effective, Robust, and Continual Multi-modal Learning
In the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning has emerged as a pivotal technique driving remarkable advancements across various domains. Among its many branches, multi-modal learning stands out as a particularly significant approach, which involves integrating and processing information from multiple modalities of data, such as visual content and language information, to enhance the capabilities of AI systems. The primary objective of multi-modal learning is to leverage the complementary information present in different modalities to achieve better performance than using any single modality alone, mimicking the way humans perceive and understand the world.
