VERDI: 継続的な世界モデル最適化における検索は転移ではない
verdi: retrieval is not transfer for continual world model optimization
事前学習済み世界モデルをユーザー指定の目的に最適化する際、過去の成功戦略をそのまま再利用するのではなく、対象モデルでの実験検証を経て初めて転移可能な知識とする継続的フレームワークVERDIを提案。最適化指紋と検証機構により探索コストと負の転移を大幅に削減した。

Foundation world models have made remarkable progress in planning, simulation, and embodied intelligence. However, optimizing a pretrained world model toward a user-specified objective remains difficult: each campaign typically rediscovers optimization strategies from scratch, and the resulting knowledge rarely transfers to the next model. Existing research agents automate the optimization loop but treat successful strategies as directly reusable recipes, without principled safeguards for when transfer is appropriate. We argue instead that retrieval is not transfer: a strategy validated on one model is at best an optimization hypothesis for another, and becomes transferable knowledge only after target-side experimental valida- tion. Guided by this principle, we propose VERDI , a continual framework for evidence-licensed world model optimization. VERDI characterizes each world model through shared inference-time probes to construct an Optimization Fin- gerprint, retrieves relevant prior experience as ranked hypotheses, and validates every candidate under a frozen target-side verifier before admitting it as reusable evidence; contradictions among nearby fingerprints further trigger probe evolution, continually refining the diagnostic representation itself. Experiments on Ctrl-World, the Cosmos family, and RoboCoin show that VERDI reduces search cost by 68%, GPU cost by 69%, and negative transfer from 0.34 to 0.06, while predicting transfer outcomes with 83% sign accuracy.
