Follow the Beaten Path: The Role of Route Patterns on Vision-Language Navigation Agents Generalization Abilities

Kourosh T Baghaei, Dieter Pfoser, Antonios Anastasopoulos, NAACL 2025

We investigate how route patterns in training environments shape the generalization abilities of Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) agents. Our analysis reveals that agents heavily rely on frequently seen route structures, limiting their ability to navigate in novel environments. We propose insights and directions for building more robust, generalizable VLN agents.
