Decision Titan: Test-Time Training for Long-Term Memory in Offline Reinforcement Learning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Decision Titan, a variant of the Decision Transformer that incorporates Test‑Time Training (TTT) layers to store episodic memories in network parameters. It evaluates this architecture on the X‑Maze environment, showing that Decision Titan can learn long‑term dependencies up to 20 times longer than its context window and generalise to sequences 1.7 times longer than the training data. The study also finds that temporal generalisation depends on the choice of time embeddings and that the ability to learn long‑term dependencies hinges on how relevant information is encoded.

AGI Maze Prediction Datasets: A Compact Benchmark for Learning World Dynamics with Transformers

The paper introduces the AGI Maze Prediction Datasets and Benchmark, a lightweight, procedurally generated grid‑world testbed for evaluating predictive models, particularly Transformers, on tasks such as per‑step transition prediction, fixed‑horizon state prediction, and sequential textual‑observation prediction. It compares byte‑level Transformer baselines with two memory‑augmented architectures, showing that a pseudo‑video spatial‑memory Transformer achieves perfect validation accuracy on selected tasks and improves sequential text‑trace prediction, while a generic auxiliary latent‑memory Transformer does not consistently help. The study highlights that structured, task‑aligned working memory can be more effective than merely increasing latent capacity, and positions the benchmark as a compact setting for testing architectures that couple textual interfaces to learned structured state.
