We present Where Are You? (WAY), a dataset of ~6k dialogs in which two humans -- an Observer and a Locator -- complete a cooperative localization task. The Observer is spawned at random in a 3D environment and can navigate from first-person…
Multimodal learning has advanced the performance for many vision-language tasks. However, most existing works in embodied dialog research focus on navigation and leave the localization task understudied. The few existing dialog-based…
