Regularized Latent Dynamics Prediction is a Strong Baseline For Behavioral Foundation Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces Regularized Latent Dynamics Prediction (RLDP), a method that adds orthogonality regularization to self‑supervised next‑state prediction in latent space. RLDP maintains feature diversity, matching or surpassing complex representation learning approaches for zero‑shot reinforcement learning. It also performs robustly in low‑coverage data settings where prior methods fail.

Learning in Low-Dimensional Subspaces: Orthogonal Bottlenecks for Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2605. 26012v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents commonly rely on high-dimensional neural representations, despite growing evidence that task-relevant value and policy structure may be intrinsically low-dimensional.

Towards Zero-Shot Task Transfer with Neurosymbolic World Models

The paper introduces a neurosymbolic world model that separates observation reconstruction from reward prediction, enabling the model to adapt zero‑shot to new reward functions defined over a shared symbolic state space. This approach addresses the task‑dependency of traditional neural world models, which learn latent representations tied to specific training tasks. Experiments show that the neurosymbolic formulation generalises more strongly than purely neural methods.
