Ground-Compose-Reinforce: Grounding Language in Agentic Behaviours using Limited Data

Andrew C. Li, Toryn Q. Klassen, Andrew Wang +2

Grounding language in perception and action is a key challenge when building situated agents that can interact with humans, or other agents, via language. In the past, addressing t…
