World Models with Configurable Perception

To address this problem, we introduce ConfigWM, which realizes configurable perception through task-conditioned state extraction.

Key points

  • Effective world modeling and planning need to abstract observations into world state representations while filtering out irrelevant information.
  • Given a language description of the task at hand, ConfigWM uses it as a configuration signal to steer how visual embeddings are mapped into a task-specific state space, selectively preserving information relevant to the current task while suppressing task-irrelevant variations.
  • Action-conditioned dynamics are then learned in this task-specific state space for planning.
  • Consistent gains in physical-quantity probing (+0.365 Pearson r) and distracted-to-clean retrieval (+75.5%) further indicate that ConfigWM learns states that preserve task-relevant information while remaining robust to distractors, supporting reliable world modeling and planning in noisy worlds.
