What exactly is “multimodal attention”?
It is the mechanism a model uses to decide which moments in sound should connect to which frames in video — matching a spoken word, impact noise or musical beat with what is visible.
Why is this worth noting?
Understanding those connections can improve synchronisation and help diagnose when a model relies on one modality while ignoring the other.
