LangGap: Diagnosing and Closing the Language Gap in Vision-Language-Action Models
π€AI Summary
Researchers reveal that state-of-the-art Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models largely ignore language instructions despite achieving 95% success on standard benchmarks. The new LangGap benchmark exposes significant language understanding deficits, with targeted data augmentation only partially addressing the fundamental challenge of diverse instruction comprehension.
Key Takeaways
- βCurrent VLA models achieve over 95% success on benchmarks but systematically ignore language instructions
- βThe LangGap benchmark reveals fundamental language understanding deficits in leading VLA models
- βTargeted data augmentation improved success rates from 0% to 90% for single-task training but only 28% for multi-task scenarios
- βExisting benchmarks like LIBERO underutilize available objects and fail to test true language understanding
- βModel learning capacity proves insufficient as semantic diversity increases, revealing core limitations in VLA architectures
