The paired trajectory–language data needed for this is costly to collect, often ambiguous, and tied to one agent's design. The authors propose using a pretrained generative vision-language model as an automatic annotator. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Unsupervised Predictive Memory in a Goal-Directed Agent ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10760) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Greg Wayne et al.*2018 · 140 citations* 2.
