# Collaborative Instance Object Navigation - CoIN-Bench dataset (v1) - ICCV 25

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

We introduce Collaborative Instance object Navigation (CoIN), a new task setting where the agent actively resolve uncertainties about the target instance during navigation in
natural, template-free, open-ended dialogues with human.

To download the dataset, just run the following command:
```bash
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
snapshot_download(repo_id="ftaioli/CoIN-Bench", repo_type="dataset", local_dir="CoIN-Bench")
```

## Dataset Details
Please see our ICCV 25 accepted paper: [```Collaborative Instance Object Navigation: Leveraging Uncertainty-Awareness to Minimize Human-Agent Dialogues.```](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.01250)

This repository contains the CoIN-Bench dataset, which is structured as follows:
- ```val_unseen```: Contains only novel objects not present in the training set.
- ```val_seen```:  Includes objects that also appear in the training set.
- ```val_seen_synonyms```: Contains objects from the training set but with synonymous names.
