Visual Semantic Navigation (VSN) aims at navigating a robot to a given target object in a previously unseen scene. To tackle this task, the robot must learn a nimble navigation policy by utilizing spatial patterns and semantic co-occurrence relations among objects in the scene. Prevailing approaches extract scene priors from the instant visual observations and solidify them in neural episodic memo...
