Synergy-CLIP: Extending CLIP With Multi-Modal Integration for Robust Representation Learning by Sangyeon Cho, Jangyeong Jeon, Mingi Kim, Junyeong Kim

“…In this study, we propose Synergy-CLIP, a novel framework that extends the contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP) architecture to enhance multi-modal representation learning by integrating visual, textual, and audio modalities. Unlike existing methods that focus on adapting individual modalities to vanilla-CLIP, Synergy-CLIP aligns and captures latent information across three modalities equally. …”
