AI systems embodied in the physical world face a fundamental challenge of partial observability; operating with only a limited view and knowledge of the environment.

We propose a novel large-scale referring expression recognition dataset, Refer360{\mbox{$^\circ$}}, consisting of 17, 137 instruction sequences and ground-truth actions for completing these instructions in 360{\mbox{$^\circ$}} scenes.

We use this speaker model to (1) synthesize new instructions for data augmentation and to (2) implement pragmatic reasoning, which evaluates how well candidate action sequences explain an instruction.

We present an empirical analysis of the state-of-the-art systems for referring expression recognition -- the task of identifying the object in an image referred to by a natural language expression -- with the goal of gaining insight into how these systems reason about language and vision.

We introduce GroundNet, a neural network for referring expression recognition -- the task of localizing (or grounding) in an image the object referred to by a natural language expression.
