Towards Zero-Shot Task Transfer with Neurosymbolic World Models· 迈向零样本任务迁移的神经符号世界模型

State-of-the-art model-based reinforcement learning methods learn neural world models that allow policy improvement by planning in a latent space, without assumptions on the structure of the underlying environment. While expressive, these models are generally task-dependent: they learn uninterpretable latent representations that are tied to the training task and thus hard to generalize to new tasks. In this work, we present a novel world model formulation where the reward prediction only depends on a subset of structured, symbolic components of the whole latent state. Decoupling observation reconstruction and reward prediction allows us to learn world models that can adapt zero-shot, i.e. without further environment interactions, to new reward functions defined over the same symbolic state
