A felt-hat factory runs a vision encoder and a text encoder to mid-level codes, then lets those codes interact—often by cross-attention—before a joint head. Which fusion type is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Intermediate fusion is a workshop in the middle: each encoder builds a mid-level code, those codes talk (often via cross-attention), then a joint head decides.
Full Explanation
Intermediate fusion merges learned mid-level representations before the final decision, commonly via mechanisms such as cross-attention. It is neither raw input concat (early) nor combining only finished decisions (late), and it is not a context-window parameter.
