PROWL: Prioritized Regret-Driven Optimization for World Model Learning
The paper introduces PROWL, a method for enhancing world model learning through prioritized regret-driven optimization. It focuses on improving the robustness of action-conditioned video world models by actively eliciting model failures. The proposed approach demonstrates that selectively generating informative training data can significantly enhance model performance.
- ▪PROWL employs a KL-constrained adversarial curriculum to train policies that expose high-error trajectories.
- ▪The method includes a Prioritized Adversarial Trajectory buffer that focuses on unresolved failure modes.
- ▪Results indicate that PROWL improves robustness over models trained solely on passive data.
