1. **[A-OKVQA: A Benchmark for Visual Question Answering using World Knowledge](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schwenk-2022-okvqa-benchmark-visual-question-answering/)** *(2022 · 509 citations)* Large pretrained vision–language models have nearly saturated many Visual Question Answering benchmarks. One reason is that the questions in these benchmarks are formulaic, need little knowledge beyond the picture, and require only shallow inference. A-OKVQA, an extension of the authors' earlier OK-VQA, addresses…
2. **[Collaborating with language models for embodied reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dasgupta-2023-collaborating-language-models-embodied-reasoning/)** *(2023 · 36 citations)* Large language models reason well and adapt to new tasks through in-context learning, but they cannot perceive or act in an environment.
3. **[Distilling Internet-Scale Vision-Language Models into Embodied Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sumers-2023-distilling-internet-scale-vision-language/)** *(2023 · 9 citations)* Language-conditioned embodied agents must link words to what they perceive and do. 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.
