LookStep is a new end‑to‑end framework for Vision‑Language Navigation that integrates Language‑Centric Future State Modeling with an Event‑Driven Rolling Memory. It uses language labels to predict coarse navigation progress and future states for candidate actions, and autonomously decides which observations to store in a bounded memory with semantic roles. Empirical results show that LookStep outperforms existing methods on VLN‑CE tasks, achieving a 49.7% success rate on R2R‑CE Val‑Unseen while improving memory efficiency and reducing data requirements.

TempoGround is a vision‑language model–native framework for streaming visual grounding that detects cross‑frame object correspondence and explicitly models object presence states. It uses a curriculum prediction mechanism to resolve 2D instance association, predict object entry, continuation, or exit, decode 2D boxes, and lift them to 3D camera‑frame boxes. The approach is further refined with Streaming Grounding Reinforcement, which optimizes grounding, identity, and consistency rewards, and achieves significant improvements on multiple streaming visual grounding benchmarks.

arXiv:2607. 02222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation has increasingly emphasized high-level instruction reasoning, memory, global map construction, and instruction decomposition, while the low-level action representation remains comparatively underexplored.
