Toward Memory-Aided World Models: Benchmarking via Spatial Consistency
TLDR
Proposes LoopNav, a Minecraft dataset and benchmark for evaluating spatial consistency in world models using loop-based navigation.
Reasoning
Strengths: Addresses a clear gap in spatial consistency evaluation for world models with a large, open-source dataset and a novel metric. Weaknesses: Limited to a single simulated environment (Minecraft) and does not demonstrate results on downstream tasks or compare with existing methods.

Innovations
- LoopNav dataset: 250 hours (20 million frames) of loop-based navigation videos with actions collected from diverse locations in Minecraft
- Scene Graph Consistency Score (SGCS) to quantify spatial consistency invariant to pixel-level variations
- Benchmark for evaluating spatial consistency in world models, addressing the gap in existing datasets and benchmarks
Methodology
The authors propose LoopNav, a dataset of 250 hours (20 million frames) of loop-based navigation videos with actions, collected from diverse locations in the open-world environment of Minecraft. They introduce a Scene Graph Consistency Score to quantify spatial consistency while remaining invariant to pixel-level variations. The dataset, benchmark, and code are open-sourced.
Key Results
No experimental results are reported in the abstract; the paper focuses on dataset and benchmark construction.
