JOPAT jointly models pixels, point tracks, and actions in a diffusion transformer and reports gains over pixel-only baselines on long-horizon robot tasks with occlusion and off-screen motion.
LangTail uses entity-level semantic priors from language models aligned via contrastive learning in a hierarchical clustering setup to resolve long-tail ambiguity, yielding +13.5, +12.9, and +8.9 mIoU gains on ScanNet-v2, S3DIS, and nuScenes.
RoboFlow4D is an end-to-end lightweight flow world model that predicts multi-frame 3D flows from visual observations and textual instructions to provide explicit planning for real-time robotic manipulation.
RLA-WM predicts residual latent actions via flow matching to create visual feature world models that outperform prior feature-based and diffusion approaches while enabling offline video-based robot RL.
Proposes a levels x laws taxonomy for world models in AI agents, defining L1-L3 capabilities across physical, digital, social, and scientific regimes while reviewing over 400 works to outline a roadmap for advanced agentic modeling.
GuidedVLA improves VLA success rates by manually supervising separate attention heads in the action decoder with auxiliary signals for task-relevant factors.
