mmE5 Makes Synthetic Data Earn Its Keep: 3 Task Types, 7 Modality Combinations, 93 Languages
The mmE5 paper turns synthetic multimodal training data from vague fairy dust into an engineering spec.

- Track task types, modality combinations, and language coverage as dataset requirements, not marketing garnish.
- For retrieval products, test mixed image text inputs across languages before trusting benchmark comfort food.
