HorizonFlow: Variable-Length Planning for Offline Goal-Conditioned RL

HorizonFlow is a hierarchical planner for offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning that treats the planning horizon as an output rather than a fixed input. It uses a subgoal route planner and an action-prefix controller, both employing insertion-based generation and flow matching, to jointly generate continuous plan content and its length. The method leverages the partially generated plan to guide token insertion and to steer generation toward shorter plans, achieving superior performance on Maze2D, Multi2D, and OGBench benchmarks.

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.

Deep Active Inference with Diffusion Policy and Multiple Timescale World Model for Real-World Exploration and Navigation

The paper presents a deep active inference framework for real‑world robotic navigation that combines a diffusion policy with a multiple‑timescale recurrent state‑space model. The diffusion policy generates diverse candidate actions, while the state‑space model predicts long‑horizon outcomes, allowing the system to select actions that minimize expected free energy. Experiments show higher success rates and fewer collisions, especially in exploration‑heavy scenarios, demonstrating the effectiveness of this unified exploration and goal‑directed approach.

Traj-LeWM: Path-Aware World-Model Planning via Latent Trajectory Cost

arXiv:2608. 14125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LeWM is a lightweight visual world model that learns latent dynamics end-to-end from pixels and ranks candidate action sequences by the distance between their predicted endpoints and the goal.
