• Abstract summary: We introduce GRiD-A-3D, a novel diagnostic visual question-answering dataset based on abstract objects. Our dataset allows for a fine-grained analysis of end-to-end VQA models' capabilities to ground relative directions. We demonstrate that within a few epochs, the subtasks required to reason over relative directions are learned in the order in which relative directions are intuitively processed.

• Abstract: Spatial reasoning poses a particular challenge for intelligent agents and is at the same time a prerequisite for their successful interaction and communication in the physical world. One such reasoning task is to describe the position of a target object with respect to the intrinsic orientation of some reference object via relative directions. In this paper, we introduce GRiD-A-3D, a novel diagnostic visual question-answering (VQA) dataset based on abstract objects. Our dataset allows for a fine-grained analysis of end-to-end VQA models' capabilities to ground relative directions. At the same time, model training requires considerably fewer computational resources compared with existing datasets, yet yields a comparable or even higher performance. Along with the new dataset, we provide a thorough evaluation based on two widely known end-to-end VQA architectures trained on GRiD-A-3D. We demonstrate that within a few epochs, the subtasks required to reason over relative directions, such as recognizing and locating objects in a scene and estimating their intrinsic orientations, are learned in the order in which relative directions are intuitively processed.

We propose a Semantic OBject Awareness framework (SOBA) to advance VQA in an object-centric way.

• Weakly-supervised 3D Pose Transfer with Keypoints [57.66991032263699]
  Main challenges of 3D pose transfer are: 1) Lack of paired training data with different characters performing the same pose; 2) Disentangling pose and shape information from the target mesh; 3) Difficulty in applying to meshes with different topologies. We propose a novel weakly-supervised keypoint-based framework to overcome these difficulties.

  In this paper, we discuss the main challenge: insufficient, or even no, labeled data for real-world indoor environments. We describe MMISM (Multi-modality input Multi-task output Indoor Scene understanding Model) to tackle the above challenges. MMISM considers RGB images as well as sparse Lidar points as inputs and 3D object detection, depth completion, human pose estimation, and semantic segmentation as output tasks. We show that MMISM performs on par or even better than single-task models.

  3D visual question answering (VQA) task is less exploited and is more susceptible to language priors and co-reference ambiguity. We collect a new 3D VQA dataset with diverse and relatively free-form question-answer pairs, as well as dense and completely grounded bounding box annotations. We propose a new 3D VQA framework to effectively predict the completely visually grounded and explainable answer.

• SOON: Scenario Oriented Object Navigation with Graph-based Exploration [102.74649829684617]
  The ability to navigate like a human towards a language-guided target from anywhere in a 3D embodied environment is one of the 'holy grail' goals of intelligent robots. Most visual navigation benchmarks focus on navigating toward a target from a fixed starting point, guided by an elaborate set of instructions that depicts step-by-step. This approach deviates from real-world problems in which human-only describes what the object and its surrounding look like and asks the robot to start navigation from anywhere.
