ImageBind is an AI model from Meta AI that learns a single embedding space to bind data from six modalities: images and video, audio, text, depth, thermal, and inertial measurement units (IMUs). It achieves this without the need for explicit supervision, enabling emergent zero-shot and few-shot recognition across modalities. The model can upgrade existing AI models to support input from any of the six modalities, enabling capabilities such as audio-based search, cross-modal search, multimodal arithmetic, and cross-modal generation. ImageBind is open source and achieves state-of-the-art performance on emergent zero-shot recognition tasks across modalities, outperforming prior specialist models trained specifically for those modalities.
