Job description
World models are internal representations of the external environment that an agent can use to interact with the real world. They are essential for understanding the physics that govern real-world dynamics, making predictions, and planning long-horizon actions. World models can be used to simulate real-world interactions and enhance the interpretability and explainability of an agent's behavior within this environment, making them key components for advanced autonomous agent models.
Nevertheless, building an accurate world model remains challenging. The goal of this PhD is to develop methodology to learn world models and study their use in the context of autonomous driving, particularly for motion forecasting and developing autonomous agents for navigation.
