arXiv:2607. 17973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models have emerged as a powerful planning paradigm by learning action-conditioned predictive dynamics and using them as internal simulators to imagine and evaluate candidate action sequences.
The paper introduces a lightweight Fourier auxiliary head to enforce physically-informed structuring of latent states in JEPA-style world models, addressing a newly identified failure mode called physical representation laziness that hampers planning in dynamic environments. Experiments show that this auxiliary supervision improves planning success rates, enhances latent space correlations with key physical properties, and boosts data efficiency, even when the baseline model does not exhibit laziness.
arXiv:2606. 09311v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) have shown promising world modeling capabilities, enabling planning in latent space by optimizing action trajectories using methods like the Cross-Entropy Method (CEM).
arXiv:2606. 31232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning visual world models for planning requires compact latent dynamics that remain sensitive to actions, yet reconstruction-free joint-embedding objectives can collapse to action-insensitive representations.

The paper introduces the Dual-Latent World Model (Dual-WM), which separates local execution and long-range planning into distinct latent spaces and dynamics models. A new learning method, Long-Horizon Representation Learning with Weighted Rollout (LoRe), supervises predictions at both levels using exponential horizon weights. Experiments on five goal-conditioned visual control tasks show that Dual-WM improves success rates over strong baselines, especially at longer horizons.
