| Challenge: | Existing interfaces lack intuitive, contextaware capabilities needed for easily navigating complex architectural components in 3D spaces. |
| Approach: | They propose a virtual assistant that allows users to interact with the BIM file in a VR environment. |
| Outcome: | The proposed assistant could allow users to interact with the BIM file in a virtual reality environment and perform complex actions. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Several real-world applications require the ability to perform cross-modal entity linking . cross-functional entity linking is a skill needed for multimodal code generation and scene understanding . |
| Approach: | They propose a task and benchmark to evaluate cross-modal entity linking performance . they use visual scenes aligned with their textual representations to evaluate performance a question-answering task . |
| Outcome: | The proposed task and benchmark aims to improve cross-modal entity linking performance . it evaluates state-of-the-art vision-language models and humans on the task . |
