Abstract:

In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has witnessed significant advancements in multimodal foundation and large language models. This presentation will provide an exploration of these models, focusing on their applications across various domains such as science, robotics, recommender systems, and watermarking. We will discuss the current trends in multimodal models, highlighting their growing importance in understanding and processing complex information. Additionally, we will delve into the challenges faced by these models, such as scalability, trustworthiness, and explore potential future directions for the field. By examining innovative approaches to improve these challenges and considering the impact of emerging technologies, we aim to inspire further research and innovation in this rapidly evolving field.
