arXiv:2602. 02762v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Semi-supervised imitation learning (SSIL) consists in learning a policy from a small dataset of action-labeled trajectories and a much larger dataset of action-free trajectories.
The paper proposes a new architecture for Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) models that improves sample efficiency by training a predictive world model on the vision encoder’s embedding space. It argues that these embeddings are action‑relevant and can be used to predict future states, addressing the lack of an explicit world model in current VLAs. The trained model can also support short‑term planning by sampling actions that lead to desired goal images.

The paper introduces a Latent World Model (LWM) for robot navigation that predicts action‑conditioned latent feature compatibility instead of reconstructing future observations. By exploiting the correlation between spatial proximity and latent feature similarity, the model evaluates action consequences directly in latent space and supports counterfactual training using sampled action sequences. The learned world model can supervise policy learning from unlabeled video and further improve policies via reinforcement learning entirely within the model, eliminating the need for action annotations and additional environment interaction.
