This session delves into the realm of multimodality in the transformative role of LMMs. Beginning with a overview of the contextual foundations for multimodality, I will explore the 'why' behind its significance, encompassing different data modalities and an array of multimodal tasks. The discussion will extend to cutting-edge multimodal systems, featuring a spotlight on LDM (latent diffusion models) technologies using PyTorch, Langchain, Stable Diffusion, LLaVA and their impact on shaping the multimodal landscape. To illuminate the practical aspects, we will explore examples that showcase the synergy of multimodality techniques with LLaMa 2, Mistral & SDXL.
