Arapin and colleagues divide future-frame prediction into two components: predictable changes caused by an action, and uncertain content such as newly revealed surfaces or dynamic textures.

The authors developed the Decoupled Drift-Diffusion World Model, or D3WM.

Why this paper

From NVIDIA and University of Michigan

In one line

D3WM jointly predicts deterministic next states and spatial uncertainty maps to guide diffusion for consistent future frames.
