Genie: Generative Interactive Environments

DeepMind 2024 65.6 method, system

TLDR

Genie is a 11B parameter generative interactive world model trained unsupervised from internet videos, enabling action-controllable virtual worlds and imitation learning.

Reasoning

The paper introduces a novel unsupervised approach to training a generative interactive environment from internet videos, eliminating the need for action labels. Its strengths include scalability and the ability to generate diverse virtual worlds from various prompts. However, the abstract lacks quantitative evaluation results and discussion of limitations, making it difficult to assess practical performance.

Deep Analysis

Innovations

  • First generative interactive environment trained in an unsupervised manner from unlabelled Internet videos
  • Model can be prompted with text, synthetic images, photographs, and sketches to generate action-controllable virtual worlds
  • 11B parameter foundation world model
  • Comprised of a spatiotemporal video tokenizer, an autoregressive dynamics model, and a scalable latent action model
  • Enables frame-by-frame user action control without any ground-truth action labels
  • Learned latent action space facilitates imitation learning from unseen videos

Methodology

Genie consists of a spatiotemporal video tokenizer, an autoregressive dynamics model, and a latent action model. It is trained in an unsupervised manner on unlabelled Internet videos without any ground-truth action labels or domain-specific requirements. The model can be prompted with text, synthetic images, photographs, or sketches to generate action-controllable virtual worlds.

Key Results

Genie enables users to act in generated environments on a frame-by-frame basis despite training without any ground-truth action labels. The learned latent action space facilitates training agents to imitate behaviors from unseen videos, opening the path for training generalist agents.
