Multimodal Transformer Based Final Year Projects

Transformers power modern NLP, vision and multimodal systems via self-attention. Projects typically fine-tune pretrained models (BERT, GPT, T5, ViT) on domain datasets, compare architectures, or implement efficient adaptation (LoRA/PEFT) and evaluation.

Standard stack: Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, datasets, tokenizers, PEFT, Accelerate, and Streamlit demos.
