Pouya Bashivan\, McGill University\, Canada will give a ta lk\n”Building spatial world models from sparse transitional episodic mem ories”\n\nDate: December 1\, 2025\nTime: 20:00 GMT\nZoom: https://ltu-s e.zoom.us/j/65564790287\n WEB: https://bit.ly/vsaonline\n\nTitle: Many an imals possess a remarkable capacity to rapidly construct flexible mental m odels of their environments. These world models are crucial for ethologica lly relevant behaviors such as navigation\, exploration\, and planning. Th e ability to form episodic memories and make inferences based on these spa rse experiences is believed to underpin the efficiency and adaptability of these models in the brain. Here\, we ask: Can a neural network learn to c onstruct a spatial model of its surroundings from sparse and disjoint epis odic memories? We formulate the problem in a simulated world and propose a novel framework\, the Episodic Spatial World Model (ESWM)\, as a potentia l answer. We show that ESWM is highly sample-efficient\, requiring minimal observations to construct a robust representation of the environment. It is also inherently adaptive\, allowing for rapid updates when the environm ent changes. In addition\, we demonstrate that ESWM readily enables near-o ptimal strategies for exploring novel environments and navigating between arbitrary points\, all without the need for additional training.\n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000794880C06D08DC01000000000000000 0100000003C52A1DB3A206D4881905B5B8FB19D51 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:VSAONLINE.
