{tao-generate-referring-expressions}

Four-step image referring-expression pipeline: turns images plus KITTI bounding-box labels into region descriptions, scene captions, grounded referring expressions, and (optionally) verified expressions via VLM distillation. Use when the user wants to generate referring-expression annotations from images with KITTI labels, build region descriptions, produce grouped grounding phrases tied to bboxes, run a double-check verification pass on grounding expressions, auto-label traffic / scene images for referring datasets, or run the image_referring_expression pipeline. Triggers include 'referring expression', 'region description', 'KITTI labels', 'spatial relationship annotation', 'auto-label image referring expression', 'image_referring_expression'.

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
