ViSMoE: Visual-Aware Sparse Mixture-of-Experts for Embodied Referring Expression Grounding

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

ViSMoE introduces a visual‑aware sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts framework for embodied referring expression grounding, enabling an agent to navigate real environments and localize a target object from natural language instructions. By routing visual information through specialized experts, the method produces discriminative representations for both navigation views and candidate objects, unlike prior approaches that use a single vision encoder. Experiments on the REVERIE and SOON datasets show that ViSMoE surpasses existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.

EPIC-Bench: A Perception-Centric Benchmark for Fine-Grained Embodied Visual Grounding in Vision-Language Models

EPIC-Bench is a perception‑centric benchmark for fine‑grained embodied visual grounding in vision‑language models. It contains 6.6k human‑annotated tuples of Image, Text, and Mask across the three core stages of embodied interaction—Target Localization, Navigation, and Manipulation. The benchmark offers 23 fine‑grained tasks, multi‑dimensional settings, and evaluates over 80 leading VLMs to provide diagnostic insights into their vision‑language grounding capabilities.
