LeHami: Symplectic Latent Dynamics for World Models

Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models directly in latent space, but unconstrained autoregressive predictors may contract the latent distribution over long rollouts. We introduce Symplectic Hamiltonian JEPA (LeHami), which replaces the standard predictor with an action-conditioned Hamiltoni...

H-JEPA: End-to-End Learning of Hierarchical World Models for Visual Planning

Long-horizon planning with latent world models requires reasoning across timescales and levels of abstraction. Existing task-agnostic JEPA world models predict and plan at a single timescale or with multiple horizons in one shared latent space. We introduce H-JEPA, an end-to-end recipe for training a hierarchy of actio...

AD-E2E-JEPA: A Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture For End-to-End Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving requires \textit{world models} that can understand the physical world, reason and plan, and operate safely. In this paper, we first systematically evaluate existing action-conditioned joint-embedding predictive architecture (JEPA) world models, including LeWM, DINO-WM, and JEPA-WM for end-to-end auto...

Patch Policy: Efficient Embodied Control via Dense Visual Representations

This work believes Patch Policy provides a pipeline for the robotics community to readily leverage continuing progress in visual representation learning, without sacrificing the training efficiency or inference speed required for high-frequency, reactive control.

What Drives Success in Physical Planning with Joint-Embedding Predictive World Models?

This work characterize models from this family of methods as JEPA-WMs and investigates the technical choices that make algorithms from this class work, and proposes a model that outperforms two established baselines, DINO-WM and V-JEPA-2-AC, in both navigation and manipulation tasks.

LeVJEPA: Efficient&Scalable Video Pretraining without the Heuristics

LeVJEPA is introduced, the first video encoder trained under LeJEPA's collapse-free objective, which indicates that video becomes a viable and in several respects preferable substrate for general-purpose visual pretraining.

LpWM: A Case for Sparse Representations in World Models

This work introduces LpWorldModel, a JEPA model regularized with Rectified Distribution Matching Regularization to match encoder features to a Rectified Generalized Gaussian distribution, yielding non-negative sparse codes, and finds that the learned sparse representations are mode-factored.

Music-JEPA: Learning a World Model of Sound from Action

This work proposes to learn a world model of piano sound using JEPA by framing music as an action-conditioned system, and shows that the learned model captures the relationships between musical actions and their resulting sound.
