ENCP: Episode-Normalized Conformal Prediction for Vision-and-Language Navigation
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.17499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Uncertainty estimation for Vision-Language-Navigation (VLN) models is a critical task since it can help identify ambiguous and unreliable predictions, enabling agents to make safer navigation decisions. As one of the most advanced uncertainty estimation frameworks, conformal prediction (CP) offers a promising approach for uncertainty estimation in VLN. However, given that VLN agent requires a sequence of steps, standard calibration in conformal prediction fails to provide coverage guarantee it promises over a dependent, variable-length VLN epis
