VIScore: Diagnosing Planning-Relevant Quality in Latent World Models

Haiyu Wu, Randall Balestriero, Morgan Levine

Regulating the latent space to an isotropic Gaussian distribution provides a stable and information-maximized landscape for world model planning. However, the latent space property…

Latent Actions from Factorized Transition Effects under Agent Ambiguity

Heejeong Nam, Chandradithya S Jonnalagadda, Harshit Aggarwal +2

Latent Action Models (LAMs) learn action-like proxies from observation. However, in multi-object or distractor-rich scenes, observations contain not only agent motion but also dist…

Sensorimotor World Models: Perception for Action via Inverse Dynamics

Petr Ivashkov, Randall Balestriero, Bernhard Schölkopf

Perception for action suggests that representations of the world should be shaped not by visual fidelity alone, but by their relevance for actions. At the same time, latent JEPA-st…

LEAP: Layer-skipping Efficiency via Adaptive Progression for Vision Transformer Distillation

Jiaqi Zhang, Ashton Lee, Anthony Wong +3

Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) with Vision Transformer (ViT) backbones, such as DINOv2, have become essential for downstream tasks like object recognition and semantic segmentatio…
