Baba in Wonderland: Online Self-Supervised Dynamics Discovery for Executable World Models
The paper titled 'Baba in Wonderland' explores online self-supervised dynamics discovery for executable world models. It introduces a system named Alice that refines candidate updates to improve learning under prior misalignment. The experiments demonstrate significant advancements in executable world-model learning through the proposed methods.
- ▪Executable world models can be edited and reused for planning if they accurately capture the environment's transition laws.
- ▪The system Alice treats failed candidate updates as signals to refine hypothesis classes and guide exploration.
- ▪Experiments on a variant of Baba Is You show that Alice enhances learning under conditions of prior misalignment.
