• Abstract: The ability to accurately comprehend natural language instructions and navigate to the target location is essential for an embodied agent. Such agents are typically required to execute user instructions in an online manner, leading us to explore the use of unlabeled test samples for effective online model adaptation. However, for online Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN), due to the intrinsic nature of inter-sample online instruction execution and intra-sample multi-step action decision, frequent updates can result in drastic changes in model parameters, while occasional updates can make the model ill-equipped to handle dynamically changing environments. Therefore, we propose a Fast-Slow Test-Time Adaptation (FSTTA) approach for online VLN by performing joint decomposition-accumulation analysis for both gradients and parameters in a unified framework. Extensive experiments show that our method obtains impressive performance gains on four popular benchmarks. Code is available at https://github.com/Feliciaxyao/ICML2024-FSTTA.

We observe that current test-time adaptation methods struggle to effectively handle varying degrees of domain shift. We enhance the well-established self-training framework by incorporating a small memory buffer to increase model stability.

  The online meta-learning framework has arisen as a powerful tool for the continual lifelong learning setting. This formulation involves two levels: outer level which learns meta-learners and inner level which learns task-specific models. We establish performance in terms of dynamic regret which handles changing environments from a global prospective. We carry out our analyses in a setting, and in expectation prove a logarithmic local dynamic regret which explicitly depends on the total number of iterations.

  We aim to address the open challenge of "Online Adaptive Metric Learning" (OAML) for learning adaptive metric functions on the fly. Unlike traditional online metric learning methods, OAML is significantly more challenging since the learned metric could be non-linear and the model has to be self-adaptive. We present a new online metric learning framework that attempts to tackle the challenge by learning an ANN-based metric with adaptive model complexity from a stream of constraints.
