Multimodal AI for Documents, Images, Audio, and Video: Production Architecture, Current Research, Real-World Use Case, Implementation, and Verification

Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).
