In this work, we study the problem of how to leverage instructional videos to facilitate the understanding of human decision-making processes, focusing on training a model with the ability to plan a goal-directed procedure from real-world videos. Learning structured and plannable state and action spaces directly from unstructured videos is the key technical challenge of our task. There are two problems: first, the appearance gap between the training and validation datasets could be large for unstructured videos; second, these gaps lead to decision errors that compound over the steps. We address these limitations with Planning Transformer (PlaTe), which has the advantage of circumventing the compounding prediction errors that occur with single-step models during long model-based rollouts. Our method simultaneously learns the latent state and action information of assigned tasks and the representations of the decision-making process from human demonstrations. Experiments conducted on real-world instructional videos and an interactive environment show that our method can achieve a better performance in reaching the indicated goal than previous algorithms. We also validated the possibility of applying procedural tasks on a UR-5 platform.

Conventional approaches to vision-and-language navigation (VLN) are trained end-to-end but struggle to perform well in freely traversable environments. Inspired by the robotics community, we propose a modular approach to VLN using topological maps. G iven a natural language instruction and topological map, our approach leverages attention mechanisms to predict a navigation plan in the map. The plan is then executed with low-level actions (e.g. forward, rotate) using a robust controller. Experiments show that our method outperforms previous end-to-end approaches, generates interpretable navigation plans, and exhibits intelligent behaviors such as backtracking.
We present the Visually Grounded Neural Syntax Learner (VG-NSL), an approach for learning syntactic representations and structures without any explicit supervision. The model learns by looking at natural images and reading paired captions. VG-NSL gen erates constituency parse trees of texts, recursively composes representations for constituents, and matches them with images. We define concreteness of constituents by their matching scores with images, and use it to guide the parsing of text. Experiments on the MSCOCO data set show that VG-NSL outperforms various unsupervised parsing approaches that do not use visual grounding, in terms of F1 scores against gold parse trees. We find that VGNSL is much more stable with respect to the choice of random initialization and the amount of training data. We also find that the concreteness acquired by VG-NSL correlates well with a similar measure defined by linguists. Finally, we also apply VG-NSL to multiple languages in the Multi30K data set, showing that our model consistently outperforms prior unsupervised approaches.
We address the problem of visually guided rearrangement planning with many movable objects, i.e., finding a sequence of actions to move a set of objects from an initial arrangement to a desired one, while relying on visual inputs coming from an RGB c amera. To do so, we introduce a complete pipeline relying on two key contributions. First, we introduce an efficient and scalable rearrangement planning method, based on a Monte-Carlo Tree Search exploration strategy. We demonstrate that because of its good trade-off between exploration and exploitation our method (i) scales well with the number of objects while (ii) finding solutions which require a smaller number of moves compared to the other state-of-the-art approaches. Note that on the contrary to many approaches, we do not require any buffer space to be available. Second, to precisely localize movable objects in the scene, we develop an integrated approach for robust multi-object workspace state estimation from a single uncalibrated RGB camera using a deep neural network trained only with synthetic data. We validate our multi-object visually guided manipulation pipeline with several experiments on a real UR-5 robotic arm by solving various rearrangement planning instances, requiring only 60 ms to compute the plan to rearrange 25 objects. In addition, we show that our system is insensitive to camera movements and can successfully recover from external perturbations.

Sentence representation models trained only on language could potentially suffer from the grounding problem. Recent work has shown promising results in improving the qualities of sentence representations by jointly training them with associated image features. However, the grounding capability is limited due to distant connection between input sentences and image features by the design of the architecture. In order to further close the gap, we propose applying self-attention mechanism to the sentence encoder to deepen the grounding effect. Our results on transfer tasks show that self-attentive encoders are better for visual grounding, as they exploit specific words with strong visual associations.
We propose a novel planning technique for satisfying tasks specified in temporal logic in partially revealed environments. We define high-level actions derived from the environment and the given task itself, and estimate how each action contributes t o progress towards completing the task. As the map is revealed, we estimate the cost and probability of success of each action from images and an encoding of that action using a trained neural network. These estimates guide search for the minimum-expected-cost plan within our model. Our learned model is structured to generalize across environments and task specifications without requiring retraining. We demonstrate an improvement in total cost in both simulated and real-world experiments compared to a heuristic-driven baseline.
