Abstract: A method includes receiving first data elements of a first data type and second data elements of a second data type. The first data type is text data and the second data type is at least one of image data or video data. The method also includes identifying first features of each of the first data elements, identifying second features of each of the second data elements, and generating merged features by combining a first feature of the first features of each of the first data elements with a second feature of the second features of one of the second data elements. The first feature and the second feature each represent a common feature. The method also includes generating a model based on the common features and at least a portion of the first features and the second features.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media that may be used to train a model based on merged common features of two or more different data types. One method includes receiving a plurality of first data elements of a first data type and a plurality of second data elements of a second data type, identifying first features of each of the plurality of first data elements, identifying second features of each of the plurality of second data elements, generating merged features by combining a first feature of the first features of each of the plurality of first data elements with a second feature of the second features of one of the plurality of second data elements, wherein the first feature and the second feature each represent a common feature, and training a model based on the merged features and at least a portion of the first features and the second features.
