ALFRED: A Benchmark for Interpreting Grounded Instructions for Everyday Tasks
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We present ALFRED (Action Learning From Realistic Environments and Directives), a benchmark for learning a mapping from natural language instructions and egocentric vision to sequences of actions for household ...
We show that a baseline model based on recent embodied vision-and-language tasks performs poorly on ALFRED, suggesting that there is significant room for developing innovative grounded visual language ...

BEHAVIOR: Benchmark for Everyday Household Activities in Virtual, Interactive, and Ecological Environments
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce BEHAVIOR, a benchmark for embodied AI with 100 activities in simulation, spanning a range of everyday household chores such as cleaning, maintenance, and food preparation. ...
Building such a benchmark poses three fundamental difficulties for each activity: definition (it can differ by time, place, or person), instantiation in a simulator, and evaluation. ...
Acknowledgments We would like to thank Bokui Shen, Xi Jia Zhou, and Jim Fan for comments, ideas, and support in data collection. ...
