 researchers to study and model interactions between modalities of language, vision, and acoustic. Modeling multimodal language is a growing research area in NLP. This research area pushes the boundaries of multimodal learning and requires advanced neural modeling
 of all three constituent modalities. Advances in this research area allow the field of NLP to take the leap towards better generalization to real-world communication (as opposed to limitation to textual applications), and better downstream performance in Conversational
 AI, Virtual Reality, Robotics, HCI, Healthcare, and Education.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
