Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for building and training machine learning models configured to generate in-domain embeddings and perform multimodal analysis inside the same domain. The models include a first encoder trained to receive input from one or more entities represented in a first modality and to encode the one or more entities in the first modality, such that the first encoder is configured to output a first set of embeddings. The models also include a second encoder trained to receive input from one or more entities represented in the second modality and to encode the one or more entities in the second modality, such that the second encoder is configured to output a second set of embeddings. The models also include a projection layer configured to project the first set of embeddings and the second set of embeddings to a shared contrastive space.
