We present ImageBind, an approach to learn a joint embedding across six different modalities - images, text, audio, depth, thermal, and IMU data. We show that all combinations of paired data are not necessary to train such a joint embedding, and only image-paired data is sufficient to bind the modalities together. ImageBind can leverage recent large scale vision-language models, and extends their zero-shot capabilities to new modalities just by using their natural pairing with images. It enables novel emergent applications 'out-of-the-box' including cross-modal retrieval, composing modalities with arithmetic, cross-modal detection and generation. The emergent capabilities improve with the strength of the image encoder and we set a new state-of-the-art on emergent zero-shot recognition tasks across modalities, outperforming specialist supervised models. Finally, we show strong few-shot recognition results outperforming prior work, and that ImageBind serves as a new way to evaluate vision models for visual and non-visual tasks.

  1. Fusion Embedding: A Unified Embedding Space for Text, Image, Video, and Audio

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Trained connectors and audio-only gated adapters integrate audio into a frozen vision-language embedding space, preserving base outputs bit-exactly and yielding emergent audio-image retrieval.

  2. OmniVAE: An Audio-Video VAE with Cross-Modal Alignment for Joint Generation

    cs.SD 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Jointly training audio and video VAEs with segment contrastive loss and semantic distillation yields more learnable, cross-aligned latents that improve downstream joint generation quality and sync.

  3. Assessing Factual Music Comprehension in Large Audio Language Models

    cs.SD 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Standard NLP metrics fail to capture factual music understanding in audio-language models; a CLAP-based metric and an LLM-parsed factual QA protocol measure it more directly.

  4. Testing chatbots on the creation of encoders for audio conditioned image generation

    cs.SD 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    All chatbot-designed audio encoders failed to align with CLIP text embeddings and produced incoherent images, while showing a surprising architectural similarity across chatbots.
