On Scaling Up a Multilingual Vision and Language Model

CVPR 2024poster

We explore the boundaries of scaling up a multilingual vision and language model both in terms of size of the components and the breadth of its training task mixture. Our model achieves new levels of performance on a wide-range of varied and complex tasks including multiple image-based captioning an…

A New Path: Scaling Vision-and-Language Navigation With Synthetic Instructions and Imitation Learning

CVPR 2023poster

Recent studies in Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) train RL agents to execute natural-language navigation instructions in photorealistic environments, as a step towards robots that can follow human instructions. However, given the scarcity of human instruction data and limited diversity in the t…

Simple and Effective Synthesis of Indoor 3D Scenes

AAAI 2023technical

We study the problem of synthesizing immersive 3D indoor scenes from one or a few images. Our aim is to generate high-resolution images and videos from novel viewpoints, including viewpoints that extrapolate far beyond the input images while maintaining 3D consistency. Existing approaches are highly…

Less Is More: Generating Grounded Navigation Instructions From Landmarks

CVPR 2022poster

We study the automatic generation of navigation instructions from 360-degree images captured on indoor routes. Existing generators suffer from poor visual grounding, causing them to rely on language priors and hallucinate objects. Our MARKY-MT5 system addresses this by focusing on visual landmarks;…
