Cross-Modal Retrieval | AI Knowledge Hub

Cross-modal retrieval and search

Cross-modal retrieval enables the discovery of content from one modality (e.g., images) using a query from another modality (e.g., text). This technique has broad applications, ranging from searching for images by text and video by description to multimedia search and recommendations.

Cross-modal retrieval leverages shared embeddings across different modalities, allowing comparison and identification of relevant content. With the rise of vision-language models, cross-modal retrieval has become more accurate and efficient.

Frequently asked questions

What is cross-modal retrieval?

Cross-modal retrieval uses shared embeddings to compare and find relevant content across different modalities, such as text and images.

How does cross-modal retrieval work?

Cross-modal retrieval models are trained on paired data – for example, image-text pairs – to create shared representations of both types of information, allowing them to understand the relationships between them.
