How to design data pipelines that support multi-modal ML models
Designing data pipelines to support multi-modal machine learning (ML) models requires careful planning around data integration, preprocessing, and model-specific features. Multi-modal models work by combining inputs from different modalities, such as text, images, audio, and structured data, to make predictions or generate outputs. Here’s how you can design data pipelines that effectively support these types
