Grid Memory Outperforms Node Memory in Object Recall

1 reports1 reporting sourcesUpdated 5 days ago

Overview

Event synthesis

FloWM's grid memory excels in object recall under partial observability, with higher efficiency and better tracking of unseen objects compared to node memory. Node memory struggles with motion beyond five velocities, while grid memory improves recall without visual input. arXiv:2610.18637v1 Latest: Grid memory reduces memory usage to 14KB vs. 5.6MB for node memory, enhancing efficiency in tracking objects out of view. arXiv:2610.18637v1

“grid is read changes its score: a single-cell probe finds 66% of out-of-view blocks, while FloWM's own probe 89%. FloWM also scores 8 points higher in view although no frame is shown, which we attribute to its write-back of its own predictions. Out of view, the tracker reaches FloWM's range in 14KB against 5.6MB, with no probe. On diagonal motion, outside its five velocities, FloWM finds 11% of blocks even after fine”

    World Models vs. Node Memory in Partial Observability

    FloWM's grid memory outperforms node memory in object recall under partial observability, with higher scores and efficiency in tracking unseen objects. Node memory struggles with motion beyond five velocities, while FloWM's predictions improve recall despite no visual input.
