In particular, commercial contents are full of images, videos in addition to textual information, and understanding our advertiser products and offers from their ad creatives and landing pages poses interesting multimodal modeling problems. In this talk, we will discuss a new multimodal task (\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2006.08686.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EMulti-Image Summarization\u003C\/a\u003E) and the associated dataset we are releasing.
