LeWAM: A JEPA World Action Model with Diffusion-Steering-Based MPC

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.12407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World action models (WAMs) predict actions and future observations, typically from a reconstruction-based representation that carries noisy, redundant information which can complicate downstream predictions. We introduce LeWAM, a bidirectional transformer for forward, backward, inverse dynamics and policy prediction, on a decoder-free JEPA latent trained end-to-end through all four modes. We see the following benefits: 1) Alignment: linear probes read robot and object state from LeWAM's latent better than from a regular Le World Model (a forward-only JEPA world model), while the latent ignores visual distractors as well as LeWM does and far better than a reconstruction-based WAM. 2) Acting: Closed-loop evaluations of LeWAM match a regular f
