• Title: Room-Across-Room: Multilingual Vision-and-Language Navigation with Dense Spatiotemporal Grounding
• Authors: Alexander Ku and Peter Anderson and Roma Patel and Eugene Ie and Jason Baldridge
• Abstract summary: We introduce Room-Across-Room (RxR), a new Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) dataset. RxR is multilingual (English, Hindi, and Telugu) and larger (more paths and instructions) than other VLN datasets. It emphasizes the role of language in VLN by addressing known biases in paths and eliciting more references to visible entities.

• Abstract: We introduce Room-Across-Room (RxR), a new Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) dataset. RxR is multilingual (English, Hindi, and Telugu) and larger (more paths and instructions) than other VLN datasets. It emphasizes the role of language in VLN by addressing known biases in paths and eliciting more references to visible entities. Furthermore, each word in an instruction is time-aligned to the virtual poses of instruction creators and validators. We establish baseline scores for monolingual and multilingual settings and multitask learning when including Room-to-Room annotations. We also provide results for a model that learns from synchronized pose traces by focusing only on portions of the panorama attended to in human demonstrations. The size, scope and detail of RxR dramatically expands the frontier for research on embodied language agents in simulated, photo-realistic environments.

  We introduce a novel benchmark for cross-lingual sense disambiguation, StingrayBench. We collect false friends in four language pairs, namely Indonesian-Malay, Indonesian-Tagalog, Chinese-Japanese, and English-German. In our analysis of various models, we observe they tend to be biased toward higher-resource languages.

  Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) tasks require an agent to navigate through the environment based on language instructions. We propose CLEAR: Cross-Lingual and Environment-Agnostic Representations. Our language and visual representations can be successfully transferred to the Room-to-Room and Cooperative Vision-and-Dialogue Navigation task.

  We assess how multilingual language models maintain a shared multilingual representation space while still encoding language-sensitive information in each language. The subspace means differ along language-sensitive axes that are relatively stable throughout middle layers, and these axes encode information such as token vocabularies. We visualize representations projected onto language-sensitive and language-neutral axes, identifying language family and part-of-speech clusters, along with spirals, toruses, and curves representing token position information.

  We introduce the Image-Grounded Language Understanding Evaluation benchmark. IGLUE brings together visual question answering, cross-modal retrieval, grounded reasoning, and grounded entailment tasks across 20 diverse languages. We find that translate-test transfer is superior to zero-shot transfer and that few-shot learning is hard to harness for many tasks.

  Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires an agent to navigate to a remote location on the basis of natural-language instructions and a set of photo-realistic panoramas. Most existing methods take words in instructions and discrete views of each panorama as the minimal unit of encoding. We propose an object-informed sequential BERT to encode visual perceptions and linguistic instructions at the same fine-grained level.
