Understanding Complexity in VideoQA via Visual Program Generation

Cristobal Eyzaguirre, Igor Vasiljevic, Achal Dave +5

We propose a data-driven approach to analyzing query complexity in Video Question Answering (VideoQA). Previous efforts in benchmark design have relied on human expertise to design…

Towards Embodiment Scaling Laws in Robot Locomotion

Bo Ai, Liu Dai, Nico Bohlinger +7

Cross-embodiment generalization underpins the vision of building generalist embodied agents for any robot, yet its enabling factors remain poorly understood. We investigate embodim…

Should VLMs be Pre-trained with Image Data?

Sedrick Keh, Jean Mercat, Samir Yitzhak Gadre +8

Pre-trained LLMs that are further trained with image data perform well on vision-language tasks. While adding images during a second training phase effectively unlocks this capabil…

GHIL-Glue: Hierarchical Control with Filtered Subgoal Images

Kyle B. Hatch, Ashwin Balakrishna, Oier Mees +8

Image and video generative models that are pre-trained on Internet-scale data can greatly increase the generalization capacity of robot learning systems. These models can function…

Language-Embedded Gaussian Splats (LEGS): Incrementally Building Room-Scale Representations with a Mobile Robot

Justin Yu, Kush Hari, Kishore Srinivas +9

Building semantic 3D maps is valuable for searching for objects of interest in offices, warehouses, stores, and homes. We present a mapping system that incrementally builds a Langu…

DataComp-LM: In search of the next generation of training sets for language models

Jeffrey Li, Alex Fang, Georgios Smyrnis +56

We introduce DataComp for Language Models (DCLM), a testbed for controlled dataset experiments with the goal of improving language models. As part of DCLM, we provide a standardize…

OpenVLA: An Open-Source Vision-Language-Action Model

Moo Jin Kim, Karl Pertsch, Siddharth Karamcheti +15

Large policies pretrained on a combination of Internet-scale vision-language data and diverse robot demonstrations have the potential to change how we teach robots new skills: rath…

Linearizing Large Language Models

Jean Mercat, Igor Vasiljevic, Sedrick Keh +4

Linear transformers have emerged as a subquadratic-time alternative to softmax attention and have garnered significant interest due to their fixed-size recurrent state that lowers…

How Generalizable Is My Behavior Cloning Policy? A Statistical Approach to Trustworthy Performance Evaluation

Joseph A. Vincent, Haruki Nishimura, Masha Itkina +3

With the rise of stochastic generative models in robot policy learning, end-to-end visuomotor policies are increasingly successful at solving complex tasks by learning from human d…

Language models scale reliably with over-training and on downstream tasks

Samir Yitzhak Gadre, Georgios Smyrnis, Vaishaal Shankar +22

Scaling laws are useful guides for derisking expensive training runs, as they predict performance of large models using cheaper, small-scale experiments. However, there remain gaps…

Prismatic VLMs: Investigating the Design Space of Visually-Conditioned Language Models

Siddharth Karamcheti, Suraj Nair, Ashwin Balakrishna +3

Visually-conditioned language models (VLMs) have seen growing adoption in applications such as visual dialogue, scene understanding, and robotic task planning; adoption that has fu…

The Teenager's Problem: Efficient Garment Decluttering as Probabilistic Set Cover

Aviv Adler, Ayah Ahmad, Yulei Qiu +9

This paper addresses the "Teenager's Problem": efficiently removing scattered garments from a planar surface into a basket. As grasping and transporting individual garments is high…
