Latent Action World Models for Control with Unlabeled Trajectories
Inspired by how humans combine direct interaction with action-free experience (e.g., videos), we study world models that learn from heterogeneous data. Standard world models typically rely on action-conditioned trajectories, which limits effectiveness when action labels are scarce. We introduce a family of latent-action world models that jointly use action-conditioned and action-free data by learning a shared latent action representation. This latent space aligns observed control signals with actions inferred from passive observations, enabling a single dynamics model to train on large-scale unlabeled trajectories while requiring only a small set of action-labeled ones. We use the latent-action world model to learn a latent-action policy through offline reinforcement learning (RL), thereby bridging two traditionally separate domains: offline RL, which typically relies on action-conditioned data, and action-free training, which is rarely used with subsequent RL. On the DeepMind Control Suite, our approach achieves strong performance while using about an order of magnitude fewer action-labeled samples than purely action-conditioned baselines. These results show that latent actions enable training on both passive and interactive data, which makes world models learn more efficiently.

Object-Centric Latent Action Learning
Leveraging vast amounts of unlabeled internet video data for embodied AI is currently bottlenecked by the lack of action labels and the presence of action-correlated visual distractors. Although recent latent action poli…

Self-supervised pretraining has become the mainstream approach for learning MRI representations from unlabeled scans. However, most existing objectives still treat each scan primarily as static aggregations of slices, pa…
Olaf-World: Orienting Latent Actions for Video World Modeling
Scaling action-controllable world models is limited by the scarcity of action labels. While latent action learning promises to extract control interfaces from unlabeled video, learned latents often fail to transfer acros…
Boosting Action-Information via a Variational Bottleneck on Unlabelled Robot Videos
Learning from demonstrations (LfD) typically relies on large amounts of action-labeled expert trajectories, which fundamentally constrains the scale of available training data. A promising alternative is to learn directl…
LARA: Latent Action Representation Alignment for Vision-Language-Action Models
Visual-language action (VLA) models enable robots to predict actions directly from observations and language instructions, but their performance depends on large-scale, high-quality data and is limited by the scarcity of…
