A typewriter-repair bench claims “late fusion of audio and stills,” but the audio was never turned into features. What is wrong?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You cannot fuse a stream that was never cooked. Calling it late fusion does not invent an audio encoder—each modality still needs a real representation.
Full Explanation
Any fusion pattern assumes each participating modality has been encoded into features or decisions. Labeling a design “late fusion” without an audio representation leaves that modality absent. Fusion naming does not substitute for an encoder, and stills are valid fusion participants when encoded.
