基于自然语言指令的视觉定位微调已成为学习型自主系统中主流方法,但其性能高度依赖高质量数据集,且常因数据不足与分布不均受限。为此,本文提出一种通用框架,将视觉语言模型(VLM)与强化学习(RL)代理结合,通过RL代理在室内环境中操纵物体,生成用于微调的合成数据以修复VLM的特定缺陷。具体而言,利用VLM在任务中的表现作为反馈信号,引导RL代理生成具有信息量的数据,高效优化模型在目标任务(如空间推理)上的表现。核心贡献在于构建了一个以RL代理为智能采样工具的框架,通过针对模型弱点设计数据生成策略,显著提升模型上下文感知能力。合成数据使场景和真实标注具备精确可控性。实验表明,该方法有效提升了VLM在空间推理任务中的性能,验证了强化学习引导数据生成在视觉语言任务中的价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Vision-language model (VLM) fine-tuning for application-specific visual grounding based on natural language instructions has become one of the most popular approaches for learning-enabled autonomous systems. However, such fine-tuning relies heavily on high-quality datasets to achieve successful performance in various downstream tasks. Additionally, VLMs often encounter limitations due to insufficient and imbalanced fine-tuning data. To address these issues, we propose a new generalizable framework to improve VLM fine-tuning by integrating it with a reinforcement learning (RL) agent. Our method utilizes the RL agent to manipulate objects within an indoor setting to create synthetic data for fine-tuning to address certain vulnerabilities of the VLM. Specifically, we use the performance of the VLM to provide feedback to the RL agent to generate informative data that efficiently fine-tune the VLM over the targeted task (e.g. spatial reasoning). The key contribution of this work is developing a framework where the RL agent serves as an informative data sampling tool and assists the VLM in order to enhance performance and address task-specific vulnerabilities. By targeting the data sampling process to address the weaknesses of the VLM, we can effectively train a more context-aware model. In addition, generating synthetic data allows us to have precise control over each scene and generate granular ground truth captions. Our results show that the proposed data generation approach improves the spatial reasoning performance of VLMs, which demonstrates the benefits of using RL-guided data generation in vision-language tasks.
