MM-Conv: A Multimodal Dataset and Benchmark for Context-Aware Grounding in 3D Dialogue

Abstract

Grounding language in the physical world requires AI systems to interpret references that emerge dynamically during conversation. While current vision-language models (VLMs) excel at static image tasks, they struggle to resolve ambiguous expressions in spontaneous, multi-turn dialogue. We address this gap by introducing MM-Conv—speak, point, look—a benchmark for referential communication in dynamic 3D environments, built from 6.7 hours of egocentric VR interaction with synchronized speech, motion, gaze, and 3D scene geometry. The benchmark includes over 4,200 manually verified referring expressions spanning full, partitive, and pronominal types, enabling systematic evaluation of multimodal reference resolution.
