From Thousands to Billions: 3D Visual Language Grounding via Render-Supervised Distillation from 2D VLMs

ICML 2025poster

3D vision-language grounding faces a fundamental data bottleneck: while 2D models train on billions of images, 3D models have access to only thousands of labeled scenes--a six-order-of-magnitude gap that severely limits performance. We introduce \textbf{\emph{LIFT-GS}}, a practical distillation tech…

LOCATE 3D: Real-World Object Localization via Self-Supervised Learning in 3D

ICML 2025spotlight

We present LOCATE 3D, a model for localizing objects in 3D scenes from referring expressions like "the small coffee table between the sofa and the lamp." LOCATE 3D sets a new state-of-the-art on standard referential grounding benchmarks and showcases robust generalization capabilities. Notably, LOCA…

OpenEQA: Embodied Question Answering in the Era of Foundation Models

CVPR 2024poster

We present a modern formulation of Embodied Question Answering (EQA) as the task of understanding an environment well enough to answer questions about it in natural language. An agent can achieve such an understanding by either drawing upon episodic memory exemplified by agents on smart glasses or b…
