The Second Multimodal AI Community Forum brings together researchers, practitioners, and students working on or interested in multimodal AI across disciplines and sectors.

Multimodal AI integrates diverse data types such as vision, language, audio, time series, sensor, spatial, tabular, and graph data. We adopt a broad and deployment-centric perspective, embracing multiple levels of multimodality, including data types, subtypes, views, and fidelities.

This forum aims to foster collaboration, share innovations, and address cross-cutting challenges aligned with Tomorrow’s Engineering Research Challenges (TERCs).

🌟 Highlights

• Keynote: Hoifung Poon, General Manager, Microsoft Research
• Funding Call Briefing: Open Multimodal AI Benchmark Round 2 (OMAIB-R2)
• OMAIB-R1 Project Showcases
