Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) aims to develop intelligent agents to navigate in unseen environments only through language and vision supervision. In the recently proposed continuous settings (continuous VLN), the agent must act in a…
In the Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) task an embodied agent navigates a 3D environment, following natural language instructions. A challenge in this task is how to handle 'off the path' scenarios where an agent veers from a reference…
