YOLOA introduces a real-time system that unifies object detection and affordance learning, leveraging an LLM Adapter for language-guided cross-modal refinement. This approach achieved a mAP of 52.8 on ADG-Det and 73.1 on IIT-Heat, while its lightweight variant reached up to 846.24 FPS.

Key insights

  • Effectively integrating semantic knowledge from LLMs via an adapter can mutually enhance visual object detection and affordance learning in a closed-loop fashion.
  • Distilling LLM knowledge during training allows for significant speedups during inference by removing the LLM component, achieving real-time performance without sacrificing much accuracy.
  • Simultaneously addressing the 'what-where-how' aspects of object understanding provides a more comprehensive and actionable perception for embodied AI systems.
