Rule-VLN: Bridging Perception and Compliance via Semantic Reasoning and Geometric Rectification

Jiawen Wen, Penglei Sun, Suixuan Qiu, Weisheng Xu, Wenjie Zhang, Xiaofei Yang, Xiaowen Chu

Rule-VLN adds 177 regulatory categories to a 29k-node urban graph to test whether navigation agents can obey semantic rules instead of only reaching goals.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments demonstrate that while Rule-VLN challenges state-of-the-art models, SNRM significantly restores navigation capabilities, reducing CVR by 19.26% and boosting TC by 5.97%.

C2weakest assumption

That the 177 injected regulatory categories and the coarse-to-fine VLM perception in SNRM accurately capture and interpret real-world semantic and behavioral constraints in a zero-shot manner without domain-specific fine-tuning or additional supervision.

C3one line summary

Rule-VLN is the first large-scale benchmark injecting 177 regulatory categories into an urban environment, and the proposed SNRM module equips pre-trained VLN agents with zero-shot semantic reasoning and detour planning to reduce constraint violations by 19.26% and improve task completion.
