Generative models can act as simulators by learning state mappings

Researchers have explored how generative models can function as simulators by investigating the concept of "editability." This involves determining if altering a model's latent representation can produce outputs equivalent to editing a simulator's state. The study tested two mapping methods: training probes to decode simulator states from the model and learning the mapping directly with an inverse map. These methods were applied to two distinct environments: the board game Othello and a continuous world simulation called Rayworld. Findings indicated that the success of each mapping technique was highly dependent on the specific environment, even when the state was decodable. AI

IMPACT This research explores new ways generative models can interact with and represent environments, potentially leading to more sophisticated simulation capabilities.
