A coral-nursery log only makes sense if a bleaching patch in the photo is tied to a phrase in the diver note before any decision. Which fusion type should the team pick?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the patch must point at the phrase before anyone decides, you need a mid-network conversation. That is intermediate fusion—not a late handshake or a blind early glue.
Full Explanation
Intermediate fusion is appropriate when modalities must interact—often via cross-attention on mid-level codes—before the final output. Late voting keeps specialists isolated until the end, which fails when grounding across streams is required. Skipping interaction or ignoring a modality also fails the requirement.
