Instead, world models are emerging as an alternative–leveraging offline, passively collected data, they make it possible to generate diverse worlds for training agents in simulation. In this work, we harness world models to generate “imagined” environments to train robust agents capable of generalizing to novel task variations. One of the challenges in doing this is ensuring the agent trains on useful generated data. We thus propose a novel approach IMAC (Imagined Autocurricula) leveraging Unsupervised Environment Design (UED), induces an automatic curriculum over generated worlds. In a series of challenging, procedurally generated environments, we show it is possible to achieve strong transfer performance on held-out environments having trained only inside a world model learned from a narrower dataset. We believe this opens the path to utilizing larger-scale, foundation world models for generally capable agents. Ahmet Hamdi Güzel, Matthew Thomas Jackson, Jarek Liesen, Tim Rocktäschel, Jakob N.
