VL-LN-Bench basemodel
This repository contains the base model for the paper VL-LN Bench: Towards Long-horizon Goal-oriented Navigation with Active Dialogs.
Model Description
VL-LN Bench is the first benchmark for Interactive Instance Object Navigation (IION), where an embodied agent must locate a specific object instance in a realistic 3D home while engaging in free-form natural-language dialogue. It also provides an automated data-collection pipeline that generates large-scale training data for learning interactive navigation behaviors. Using this dataset, we train an IION base model that shares the same architecture as InternVLA-N1.
The resulting model demonstrates baseline competence on IION: it can search for a specific instance in previously unseen environments. During exploration, the agent can either move by predicting a pixel-goal waypoint or ask a question to reduce ambiguity and improve task success and efficiency.
