一、技术背景与市场需求分析
1.1 多模态AI的爆发式增长
根据Gartner最新预测，到2026年，超过80%的企业将使用多模态AI技术，而当前这一比例不足20%。这种爆发式增长背后的核心驱动力是：
企业级应用场景的迫切需求：
-
金融行业：需要同时分析财报文本、股票走势图、财报电话会议录音
-
医疗领域：要求整合医学影像、病理报告、研究文献的多模态诊断
-
教育科技：智能辅导系统需理解题目文本、几何图形、学生手写解答
-
工业制造：设备维护需要分析传感器数据、设备照片、维修手册
1.2 当前单模态RAG的技术瓶颈
传统RAG系统在处理复杂现实问题时表现出的局限性：

"visual_queries": "无法处理'这张图表说明了什么趋势'这类问题",
"cross_modal_reasoning": "不能结合文本描述和图像内容进行推理",
"temporal_analysis": "缺乏对时间序列数据的处理能力",
"complex_document_understanding": "难以理解包含图表、公式的学术论文"
}
def real_world_challenges(self):
challenges = """
实际业务场景中的典型挑战：
1. 法律文档分析：合同文本+签字图片+附件表格的综合理解
2. 市场分析报告：数据图表+行业评论+竞品信息的关联分析
3. 科研论文解读：方法描述+实验结果图表+数学公式的协同理解
4. 产品故障诊断：错误日志+设备照片+维修记录的整合分析
