Multi-Modal Integration

When to use

"Use when no single data source provides a complete picture. Synthesize information from multiple modalities (text, image, audio, sensor data) to achieve understanding that no single modality provides."

Example

"A medical diagnosis combines text (patient history), images (X-ray, MRI), lab results (blood tests), and physical examination. Each modality provides partial information; the synthesis produces a diagnosis more confident than any single modality."

Common misuse

"Treating all modalities as equally reliable. Different modalities have different noise profiles, biases, and reliabilities. Weighted fusion (giving more weight to more reliable modalities) outperforms naive fusion."
