  • 构建因果世界模型,通过干预与反事实推理不断更新认知。
  • 支持持续认知迭代,使智能体能应对未知场景和假设性实验。
  • 适合研究具身智能、自主学习与科学发现的学者参考。

当前具身世界模型主要针对预测目标优化,限制了其在分布偏移下的泛化能力以及对未见情境和假设干预的系统性推理。我们主张具身智能应从预测性建模转向自演进的认知系统,通过与环境交互持续构建和修正内部因果表征。为此,提出一种基于因果世界建模的自演进认知框架,包含因果世界建模、干预驱动的因果推理和持续认知精炼三个互补模块。该框架通过因果发现、干预反馈和反事实推理,持续修订并扩展内部因果世界模型,支持认知的持续演化。此外,将具身交互重新理解为因果假说生成、干预实验和知识获取的知性过程。本工作为从预测智能向知性智能转变提供了概念与理论基础,即智能通过与环境互动不断构建、修正和精炼因果世界模型而涌现。相应地,提出以干预驱动的因果-知性基准评估自演进具身科学智能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Current embodied world models are primarily optimized for predictive objectives, limiting their ability to generalize under distribution shifts and reason systematically about unseen situations and hypothetical interventions. We argue that embodied intelligence should move beyond predictive world modeling toward self-evolving cognitive systems that continually construct and refine internal causal representations through interaction with the environment. To this end, we propose a self-evolving cognitive framework via causal world modeling for embodied scientific intelligence, which integrates three complementary components: causal world modeling, intervention-driven causal reasoning, and continual cognitive refinement. The proposed framework continuously revises and expands its internal causal world model through causal discovery, intervention-driven feedback, and counterfactual reasoning, supporting continual cognitive refinement and enabling cognition itself to evolve over time. Furthermore, we reinterpret embodied interaction not merely as a means of trajectory optimization, but as an epistemic process for causal hypothesis generation, intervention-driven experimentation, and continual knowledge acquisition. This work provides a conceptual and theoretical foundation for a transition from predictive intelligence toward epistemic intelligence, in which intelligence emerges through the continual construction, revision, and refinement of causal world models via interaction with the environment. Accordingly, an intervention-driven causal-epistemic benchmarking paradigm is suggested for evaluating self-evolving embodied scientific intelligence.
