Obiettivi di apprendimento

For intelligent systems, adeptly interpreting, reasoning, and fusing multimodal information is essential. One of the latest and most promising trends in machine/deep learning research is Multimodal Learning, a multi-disciplinary field focused on integrating and modeling multiple modalities, such as acoustics, linguistics and vision. This course explores fundamental concepts in multimodal learning, including alignment, fusion, joint learning, temporal learning, and representation
learning. Through an examination of recent state-of-the-art papers, the course emphasizes effective computational algorithms tailored for diverse applications. Various datasets, sensing approaches, and computational methodologies will be explored, with discussions on existing limitations and potential future directions. Course evaluation will involve a small project assigned to student groups.
