The Planning Limits of Latent World Models

This work studies action-conditioned predictors built on five frozen self-supervised visual backbones, finding that a world model guides action selection reliably only when the goal lies within, or slightly beyond, the trajectory it imagines during planning.

MEND: Label-Free Detection, Localisation, and Correction of Latent Hallucination in World Models

World Models are appearing as the next major frontier in computer vision. However, their robustness is currently largely unexplored. We identify the phenomenon of hallucination in latent World Models: given a state and an action, the predicted next latent can decode to a scene that never occurs. Because the prediction...

Altered Thoughts, Altered Actions: Reasoning Chain as Control Surface for a Vision-Language-Action Policy

This work measures both directions, repair and corruption, of the reasoning chain, a working control surface that moves the robot, repairing behaviour when the text is right and corrupting it when the text is wrong.

InstructMixup: Instruction-Guided Salient Patch Editing for Robust Data Augmentation

InstructMixup is proposed, a data augmentation method that constructs challenging yet label-consistent training samples entirely within a single visual sample, and outperforms nine competing augmentation methods, surpassing the strongest baseline across all benchmarks.
