RoleWorld: Knowledge Transfer in World Modeling with Functional Role Abstractions

Read the original on arXiv AI →

RoleWorld is a symbolic world‑modeling framework that uses reusable prototypes and environment‑specific parameters—called functional role abstractions—to capture how objects behave in interactions. A teacher LLM extracts role prototypes and executable transition rules from interaction trajectories, while an actor LLM employs a skill to apply these roles during decision making. In target environments, the actor refines role assignments and parameter estimates online through active testing, without updating LLM weights, and experiments on the MARS benchmark demonstrate robust generalization across environments with altered object behavior.

AnyGoal: On World Model Generalization Beyond Expert Rollouts

The paper introduces AnyGoal, a benchmark that tests world models on goal‑shifted task variants where state and action factors are recombined beyond the combinations seen in expert rollouts. It evaluates how well different world‑model families generalize to these unseen recombinations across multiple environments, revealing consistent failures. The study analyzes dynamics and representation shortcomings to identify where current models succeed and where they struggle in goal‑shifted prediction and planning.

Quo Vadis, World Modeling?

arXiv:2608. 02713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continually improving agents require dynamic interaction feedback beyond static supervision, yet direct real-environment interaction is costly, slow, unsafe, and hard to parallelize.
