DeepJEPA: Scaling World Models from Within

Read the original on arXiv AI →

DeepJEPA is a weight‑tied joint‑embedding predictive world model that treats transition depth as an inner test‑time scaling axis, learning when additional recurrent updates are worthwhile for each candidate and rollout step. Unlike traditional planners that uniformly deepen every transition, DeepJEPA concentrates extra computation on decision‑critical events such as contact onset and sustained object interaction, achieving comparable or better performance with only 1.00–1.26 updates per transition across five visual‑control settings. The approach demonstrates that improved planning does not require uniformly better object‑state decodability, but rather targeted internal computation where it can alter the planner’s elite set and action selection.

Beyond a single latent space: a dual-latent world model for long-horizon planning

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.

Delta-JEPA: Learning Action-Sensitive World Models via Latent Difference Decoding

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.

JEPA-Bisim: Learning Robust Visual Representations for Planning with Joint-Embedding Predictive World Models

JEPA-Bisim introduces a bisimulation encoder to joint-embedding predictive world models, ensuring that states with similar transition dynamics are mapped to nearby latent representations while suppressing irrelevant slow features such as background changes and distractors. The approach improves robustness on navigation (PointMaze) and manipulation (PushT) tasks under varied test-time visual conditions, achieving up to tenfold smaller latent spaces than DINO-WM. It remains effective across different pre-trained visual encoders, including DINOv2, SimDINOv2, and iBOT.
