## ๐ฎ Highlights
### ๐ก High performance, but NO intermediate modality required
LanguageBind is a **language-centric** multimodal pretraining approach, **taking the language as the bind across different modalities** because the language modality is well-explored and contains rich semantics.
* The following first figure shows the architecture of LanguageBind. LanguageBind can be easily extended to segmentation, detection tasks, and potentially to unlimited modalities.
### โก๏ธ A multimodal, fully aligned and voluminous dataset
We propose **VIDAL-10M**, **10 Million data** with **V**ideo, **I**nfrared, **D**epth, **A**udio and their corresponding **L**anguage, which greatly expands the data beyond visual modalities.
* The second figure shows our proposed VIDAL-10M dataset, which includes five modalities: video, infrared, depth, audio, and language.
### ๐ฅ Multi-view enhanced description for training
We make multi-view enhancements to language. We produce multi-view description that combines **meta-data**, **spatial**, and **temporal** to greatly enhance the semantic information of the language. In addition we further **enhance the language with ChatGPT** to create a good semantic space for each modality aligned language.
