  1. Text extraction from the images
    • Language detection
    • Translation into English or other languages
  2. Content extraction from the images
    • Textual summary of the image content ("image caption")
    • Question answering about image content
  3. Content extraction from videos
    • Textual summary of the video content
    • Question answering about video content
    • Extraction and translation of audio from the video

  5. Multimodal analysis
    • Find best matches for image content or image similarity
