Frozen in a Frame: The Velocity Blind Spot in JEPA World Models

Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) for world modeling train an encoder so a predictor maps a current embedding and action to the next frame's embedding, always from a single rendered frame. This has a structural blind spot: a renderer without motion blur draws a scene from configuration alone, so a single...

Timestep Weighting: A Hidden Key to Effective ELBO-Based Flow-Matching RL

This work investigates impacts and dynamics of timestep weighting in ELBO-based RL, and establishes timestep weighting as an important design choice for flow-matching RL and motivates further research into methods that choose and adapt it throughout learning.

Timestep Weighting: A Hidden Key to Effective ELBO-Based Flow-Matching RL

ELBO-based reinforcement learning offers a sampler-agnostic approach to fine-tuning flow matching models with reward feedback. Timestep weighting in ELBO-based RL has large impact on performance, and it also provides a unified view (as we show in this work) to understand prediction losses heuristically chosen in prior...
