Semantic Exploration

Semantic exploration focuses on using semantic information—meaningful interpretations of data—to guide exploration processes, improving efficiency and effectiveness in various domains. Current research emphasizes integrating semantic understanding from diverse sources, such as visual data, text, and large language models, into exploration algorithms like contrastive learning and reinforcement learning, often utilizing graph representations or Voronoi diagrams for path planning. This work has significant implications for robotics (autonomous navigation and object manipulation), urban planning (socioeconomic prediction), and data analysis (efficient map processing and knowledge extraction), enabling more intelligent and efficient systems.
