Fine-Grained R2R

Code and data of the Fine-Grained R2R Dataset proposed in the EMNLP2020 paper Sub-Instruction Aware Vision-and-Language Navigation.

This dataset enriches the benchmark Room-to-Room (R2R) dataset by dividing the instructions into sub-instructions and pairing each of those with their corresponding viewpoints in the path.

• The copyright resides with the authors of the paper Sub-Instruction Aware Vision-and-Language Navigation.
• This dataset is build upon the Room-to-Room (R2R) dataset, we refer the readers to its repository for more details.

Data

The Fine-Grained R2R data, which enriches the R2R dataset with sub-instructions and their corresponding paths. The overall instruction and trajectory of each sample remains the same.

• For paths in the train, the validation seen and the validation unseen splits, we add two new entries:

  • new_instructions: A list of sub-instructions produced by the Chunking Function from the complete instructions. You can use import ast and ast.literal_eval() to read it a list.
  • chunk_view: A list of sub-paths corresponding to the sub-instructions, where each number in the list is an index of a viewpoint in the ground-truth path. The index starts at 1.

• Some sub-instructions which refer to camera rotation or a STOP action could match to a single viewpoint.

• For the test unseen split, we only provide the sub-instructions but not the sub-paths.

Source

The code of the proposed Chunking Function for generating sub-instructions.

• Install the StanfordNLP package (v0.1.2 in our experiment) and download the English models for the neural pipeline.

• Run make_subinstr.py to generate data with sub-instructions from the original R2R data.

• The generated files had been sent to the Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) for annotating the sub-paths.
