Planning is one of the most exciting uses of world models, but existing planners struggle on long horizons.

Introducing GRASP: a fast gradient-based planner for world models that outperforms prior methods on long-horizon tasks.

Two key ideas:
1.jointly optimize actions and intermediate subgoals
2.inject stochasticity to explore subgoal space

a recipe to reproduce #Genie3:
1️⃣ collect a large egocentric video dataset and apply VGGT to get camera poses. Add more data from 3D reconstructed scenes.
2️⃣ train a Navigation World Model with long context → https://t.co/c3t8rnhdqX
3️⃣ distill to an efficient model for RT.

A phenomenal father, husband, ... and scholar! So, so proud of @yotamshemtov 💕

Happy to share our new work on Navigation World Models! 🔥🔥

Navigation is a fundamental skill of agents with visual-motor capabilities. We train a single World Model across multiple environments and diverse agent data.

How should policymakers consider childhood location effects when designing policies promoting economic mobility?

Our latest profile highlights @AviviHadar’s research investigating how place effects have differing consequences for immigrants: https://t.co/sXCsJCvAgL

מחפשים עוזר/ת מחקר (יחד עם @umalmend, @MaorMilgrom, @EconLulu) למחקר אמפירי על ההשפעות ארוכות הטווח של טרור.

העבודה תתבצע ברובה בחדר המחקר של הלמ״ס. נדרשת היכרות טובה עם R ו/או Stata, עדיפות לסטודנט לתואר שני.

ניתן לשלוח קורות חיים וגיליונות ציונים ל: [email protected]

Animals are intelligent agents that plan and act to accomplish complex goals. Can we try learning from them? We present EgoPet, a new ego centric video dataset of animals scraped from YouTube and TikTok.

Introducing IMProv, our new multimodal prompting model trained on 200k Semantic Scholar figures & LAION 400m. Shows cool in-context learning capabilities for computer vision. Kudos to @Jerry_XU_Jiarui @YGandelsman @jw2yang4ai

Thanks so much for posting!

In my JMP (with @MichelArmel , @NasoPedro , @EconLulu ), we ask whether employers don't train workers in general skills because they don't capture the returns from that training.

@the01guardian @aviadglickman @Yossi_eli חחחחחח זה גיבור? עם כאלה גיבורים אכלנו אותה. הבנאדם וידא הריגה בחשוד למרות שהוא ��יה על הרצפה עם הידיים למעלה. אם אדם לא יודע לתפעל נשק ולא יודע את הכללים שלא ישא אותו, אחרת הוא *חייב* להענש על הפרה של החוקים.
