    Abstract

    Since our communication is multimodal in terms of our ability to express ourselves via different channels and our perception of the world, the automatic production and analysis of natural language content requires the integration of these multiple modalities in order to rival human performance. However, multimodal, or cross-modal, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has long been in the minority, perhaps because it is more complex. In the wake of recent advances in artificial intelligence, which are bringing multimodality to the fore, this special issue aims to highlight, through three articles on a variety of subjects, the questions that remain, particularly with regard to data requirements, understanding the links between modalities, and the need for convergence in terms of representation and modelling.
