What is ImageBind?
ImageBind is a model that links data from six modalities into a single embedding space without explicit supervision. It is presented as enabling audio-based retrieval, cross-modal retrieval, modality arithmetic, and cross-modal generation. It says it achieved a new SOTA in zero-shot recognition across modalities. A PyTorch implementation and pretrained models are provided on GitHub.
