#1 Discovering Hybrid World Representations with Co-Evolving Foundation Models [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi] [REL]

Authors: Jiajun Wu, Yunzhi Zhang, Hong-Xing Yu, Joy Hsu, Jiayuan Mao

This perspective article discusses an emerging research direction: to what extent can foundation models yield usable structure for modeling the physical world? We offer a Markovian formulation of structured world models and outline the notion of multi-level hybrid world representations that support compositional structure. We then review and suggest possible discovery paradigms, spanning distillation, interaction-driven continual learning, and ensemble learning.
