“Facebook’s Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) group has published a dataset to support a project called Talk the Walk, which aims to train AI systems to serve as virtual tour guides. The dataset includes maps of New York City neighborhoods, 360-degree photos of the neighborhoods, and sample text of humans guiding other humans through them. The goal of Talk the Walk is to advance research into localization, goal-oriented dialogue, visual perception, and other challenges in developing AI agents that can interact seamlessly with humans.”
