## Executive Summary
Unified visual-textual latent spaces, VLM fine-tuning, and document intelligence with pixel-level attribution.

## Detailed Overview
Real-world business knowledge doesn't live solely in neat text fields. It lives in scanned PDF contracts, complex engineering blueprints, audio calls, CCTV footage, and structured databases. Alector Lab builds multimodal systems that align diverse data modalities into unified semantic vector spaces and reasoning pipelines.

## Architecture Overview
Our multimodal architecture combines high-resolution visual encoders with state-of-the-art vision-language models and hybrid sparse-dense vector indices. Every extracted entity is tied to exact spatial bounding boxes or temporal video timestamps for complete verification and compliance.

## Core Engineering Areas
- Vision-Language Model (VLM) fine-tuning & routing
- Complex document intelligence (tables, stamps, handwriting)
- Cross-modal semantic search & vector retrieval
- Dense video understanding & temporal grounding
- Multimodal reasoning & structured JSON extraction
- Audio transcription & acoustic event recognition
- Technical diagram & schematic parsing
- Unified multimodal evaluation frameworks

## System Specifications
- **Document Accuracy:** Benchmarked per document set before production rollout
- **Modalities Supported:** PDF, TIFF, Audio, Video, CSV, CAD
- **Context Window:** Sized to the model and workload
- **Grounding Precision:** Pixel & character coordinate attribution

## Production Features & Controls
- **Document Graph Intelligence:** Parse multi-page unstructured enterprise documents into validated, structured schemas with zero loss of spatial layout semantics.
- **Cross-Modal Vector Retrieval:** Search visual archives using natural language queries, or search document stores using image snippets and diagrams.
- **Verifiable Pixel Grounding:** Eliminate hallucinations by forcing models to supply exact bounding coordinates and citation anchors for every extracted fact.
- **Cost-Optimized Model Routing:** Route simple OCR tasks to lightweight edge models and reserve large VLMs for nuanced, high-complexity multi-modal reasoning.
