| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary This study presents a novel evaluation framework for the Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) task, aiming to diagnose current models at a finer-grained level. The framework is structured around the context-free grammar (CFG) of the task, which serves as the basis for problem decomposition and instruction categories design. A semi-automatic method is proposed for CFG construction using Large-Language Models (LLMs). The study generates data spanning five principal instruction categories, including direction change, landmark recognition, region recognition, vertical movement, and numerical comprehension. Analysis reveals performance discrepancies and recurrent issues among different models, such as stagnation of numerical comprehension, heavy selective biases over directional concepts, and other findings that contribute to the development of future language-guided navigation systems. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This study is about creating a better way to test how well computers can understand instructions when navigating through images. The current methods are not doing very well, so they came up with a new framework that looks at the instructions in a more detailed way. They used special computer models to help create this framework and tested it on different types of instructions. The results showed that some instructions were much harder for computers to understand than others. This can help make better computers in the future. |
