Multimodal Chain of Thought (Multimodal CoT)
Multimodal CoT is an extension of the Chain of Thought technique that brings in different modalities, such as text, images, audio or video, during reasoning and problem solving.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Makes it possible to solve tasks that require analysing different data types | Requires more complex models capable of handling different data types |
| Improves understanding of context and of the links between different modalities | Can be harder to implement and interpret |
| Can lead to more comprehensive and accurate solutions | Can demand significant computing resources |
An example of a Multimodal CoT prompt:
Analyse the following image of an advertising banner and the text description of the target audience. Using the Multimodal CoT method, explain step by step:
1. Which visual elements of the banner are most effective for the target audience?
2. How does the banner text relate to the visual elements?
3. What changes would you suggest to make the banner more effective?
At every step, justify your reasoning by drawing on both the visual and the textual data.
