LaWM: Least Action World Models for Long-Horizon Physical Consistency from Visual Observations

Researchers introduce Least Action World Models (LaWM), a framework that applies physics principles to improve visual prediction in AI systems. By embedding the Principle of Least Action into learned latent spaces, LaWM enables longer, more physically consistent predictions for embodied AI and robotic planning without requiring external constraints or auxiliary losses.

Practical Bayesian Inference for Speech SNNs: Uncertainty and Loss-Landscape Smoothing

Researchers demonstrate that applying Bayesian inference to Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) for speech processing smooths the irregular loss landscape caused by threshold-based spike generation. Testing on speech datasets shows improved performance metrics and more regular predictive landscapes compared to deterministic approaches.

Purrception: Variational Flow Matching for Vector-Quantized Image Generation

Researchers introduce Purrception, a new variational flow matching approach for AI image generation that combines continuous transport dynamics with discrete supervision. The method demonstrates faster training convergence than existing baselines while achieving competitive quality scores on ImageNet-1k 256x256 generation tasks.
