arXiv:2608. 15043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video world models are increasingly used as simulators for planning and embodied decision making, yet improving them at inference time introduces a subtle evaluation problem: prompts, samplers, verifiers, and selectors may evolve together, making it difficult to attribute gains or prevent held-out feedback from shaping the final policy.
arXiv:2608. 11216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World modeling is an unsettled field: architectures, training objectives, and state representations interact in complex ways, and no single recipe dominates across environments.
arXiv:2606. 15032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models have rapidly become one of the central abstractions in modern AI.
arXiv:2606. 15631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extending a vision-language-action (VLA) policy to a new task typically requires task-specific teleoperated demonstrations and per-task fine-tuning, making adaptation costly in both data collection and compute.
arXiv:2606. 12550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-world mapless navigation from sparse language instructions requires resolving underspecified goals and inferring which environmental cues are relevant for reaching the goal.
arXiv:2605. 21917v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training Vision Language Models (VLMs) for video event reasoning requires high-quality structured annotations capturing not only what happened, but when, where, why, and with what consequence, at a scale manual labelling cannot support.
arXiv:2606. 15032v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: World models have become a central abstraction in modern AI.
arXiv:2506. 06006v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Can unified vision-language models (VLMs) perform forward dynamics prediction (FDP), i.
arXiv:2607. 25487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models translate natural-language commands into robot action sequences, but leading systems on the LIBERO-Plus robustness benchmark use three- to seven-billion-parameter backbones whose memory demands can exceed embedded robotic budgets.
arXiv:2606. 07974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A learned world model provides a powerful physical intuition for evaluating future states.
arXiv:2608. 03918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient long-video understanding requires vision--language models (VLMs) to reason over a small number of frames selected as sparse visual evidence.
arXiv:2607. 15621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models bring instruction following and scene reasoning to end-to-end driving, but their inference latency collides with the control rate a vehicle requires.
arXiv:2608. 07959v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-long egocentric video understanding requires reasoning over temporally sparse evidence distributed across hours or days, challenging current multimodal models with limited context and the grounding of key video segments.
