DWM: Decomposing World Models into Action-Driven and Action-Invariant Components
A new framework called DWM (Decomposed World Model) is proposed to separate latent world model transitions into action-driven and action-invariant components. This approach enables the model to distinguish between changes caused by agent actions and those arising from intrinsic environment dynamics, such as gravity or inertia. In experiments on modified control benchmarks with persistent world effects, DWM achieved a mean absolute improvement of 13.1% in planning success compared to strong baselines.
Why it matters: This decomposition could lead to more transferable and interpretable world models, improving model-based control in environments with complex dynamics.
