New system 'Alice' improves AI world model learning under misalignment

Researchers have developed a new system called Alice designed to improve the learning of executable world models, particularly in scenarios with prior misalignment. Alice treats failed candidate updates as a source of structural signal, using preservation conflicts to reveal dynamics that a current program may have conflated. By refining these conflicts into hypothesis classes and guiding exploration, Alice enhances the discovery of state-dependent dynamics from interaction evidence alone, without relying on rule descriptions or reward signals. Experiments on a variant of the game Baba Is You demonstrated Alice's effectiveness in learning executable world models under these challenging conditions. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust AI agents capable of learning and adapting in complex, unlabelled environments.

    Baba in Wonderland: Online Self-Supervised Dynamics Discovery for Executable World Models

    arXiv:2605.16725v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Executable world models can be read, edited, executed, and reused for planning, but only if the program captures the environment's transition law rather than semantic shortcuts in its surface vocabulary. We study online executab…
