Commonsene Object Affordance Task [COAT]

Arxiv | Datasets

A 3 level framework adumbrating human commonsense style reasoning for estimating object affordance for various tasks

Experimental Setup:

• Task List: tasks
• Object List: objects
• Utility List¹: utilities
• Variables Used: temperature, mass, material, already-in-use, condition

Utility Level Pruning:

This gives us UtilitytoObject mappings also called utility objects

• GT Object-Utility Mappings : utility-mappings

Task-0(Context Level):

Here we evaluate models on their ability to prune out appropriate objects on the basis of Context. This gives us (Task,Utility)toObject mappings also called context objects

• GT (Task-Utility)-(Object) Mappings: context-objects
• Task-0 Dataset: 4 Variations

Task-1(Physical State Level):

Here we evaluate models on their ability to prune out the ideal configuration when presented with a number of context object configurations. (Something that is pretty obvious to humans)

• All Possible Common Configurations: possible configurations
• Ideal Configurations: ideal configurations
• Commonsense Common Occurence Variables: common variables values
• Task-1 Dataset: 12 Variations

Task-2(Physical State Level):

Here we evaluate models on their ability to prune out the most appropriatesub-optimal configuration when presented with a number of sub-optimal configurations of context objects. (Something that is pretty obvious to humans)

• Suboptimal Configurations: suboptimal configurations
• Human Preference Material Order: material preference
• Task-2 Dataset: 14 Variations

Implementations For Language Models:

• PaLM/GPT3.5-Turbo: API

Upcoming Stuff:

• generating object, task, utility jsons for your purpose
• generating task-0 datasets for your own task list, object list, utility lists
• generating task-1, task-2 datasets for your own variables, your preferred possible configurations, handcrafted penalty schema and your own preferences.

play around, create more variables, go for more comprehensive reward structures, go in any depth you wish. Let's create more agents capable of physical commonsense reasoning!

PS: If you need any help experimenting with this data or curating your own datasets, feel free to create an Issue.
