Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) is the process of recognizing or interpreting speech by watching the lip movements of the speaker. Recent machine learning based approaches model VSR as a classification problem; however, the scarcity of…
We focus on the task of language-conditioned grasping in clutter, in which a robot is supposed to grasp the target object based on a language instruction. Previous works separately conduct visual grounding to localize the target object, and…
Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation enables models to segment objects or image regions beyond fixed class sets, offering flexibility in dynamic environments. However, existing methods often rely on single-view images and struggle with…
