In this
edition: AllenAct
– our new
Embodied AI
research
library, AI2 at
ECCV 2020, the
conclusion of
the ALFRED
challenge, new
AllenNLP
tutorials, and

AllenAct: Embodied AI for
everyone
We're proud to announce our new
Embodied AI research framework,
AllenAct! This library offers
free, open, first-class support
for a growing collection of
embodied environments,
tutorials, tasks, and
algorithms, plus reproductions
of state-of-the-art models. Our
goal with AllenAct is to enable
reproducible, reusable,
accessible research in Embodied
AI.
AI2 had a strong showing at
this year's ECCV conference,
with several spotlight
papers and the conclusion of
the ALFRED challenge at the
Embodied Vision, Actions
& Language
Workshop.
ALFRED
Challenge
Winners
ALFRED is a
natural
language
benchmark
for teaching
an AI agent
to perform
interactive,
visual tasks
involving
objects,
tools, and
appliances.
Our
challenge
winners were
Van-Quang
Nguyen and
Takayuki
Okatani from
Tohoku
University –
they
achieved a
10x increase
in success
rate in
embodied
instruction-following
for everyday
tasks. Learn
more at the
ALFRED
Challenge
website, and watch
the EVAL
Workshop
Invited
Speaker
Panel.

Have you checked
out the AI2
Computer
Vision
Explorer
lately? We've
added new tasks
like Grounded
Situation
Recognition,
where a model
classifies a
situation and
locates objects
in that
situation. Try it
out and
explore other
interesting
tasks and
models.
