OmniUE unifies text, video, and audio embeddings with interactive querying

Researchers have introduced the Omni-Interactive Universal Embedder (OmniUE), a novel system designed to unify embeddings across text, video, and audio modalities. Unlike previous models that primarily focused on text and images, OmniUE utilizes dedicated learnable tokens and an omni-LLM to process diverse user interactions, including visual regions of interest and audio spans. To assess its capabilities, a new benchmark called OmniCHOIR was developed, which evaluates omni-interactive compositional audio retrieval. OmniUE demonstrated significant performance improvements over existing methods on various benchmarks, including a substantial 24.1% gain on the OmniCHOIR benchmark. AI

IMPACT This research advances multimodal representation learning, potentially enabling more versatile and interactive AI systems for processing diverse data types.

    Omni-Interactive Universal Embedder

    arXiv:2608.27044v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal representation learning has been shifting from traditional two-tower architectures to large language model (LLM)-based embedders due to their strong instruction-following capabilities. Despite this progress, existing appr…
