• Abstract: The task of estimating the world model describing the dynamics of a real world process assumes immense importance for anticipating and preparing for future outcomes. For applications such as video surveillance, robotics applications, autonomous driving, etc. this objective entails synthesizing plausible visual futures, given a few frames of a video to set the visual context. Towards this end, we propose ProgGen, which undertakes the task of video frame prediction by representing the dynamics of the video using a set of neuro-symbolic, human-interpretable set of states (one per frame) by leveraging the inductive biases of Large (Vision) Language Models (LLM/VLM). In particular, ProgGen utilizes LLM/VLM to synthesize programs: (i) to estimate the states of the video, given the visual context (i.e. the frames); (ii) to predict the states corresponding to future time steps by estimating the transition dynamics; (iii) to render the predicted states as visual RGB-frames. Empirical evaluations reveal that our proposed method outperforms competing techniques at the task of video frame prediction in two challenging environments: (i) PhyWorld (ii) Cart Pole. Additionally, ProgGen permits counter-factual reasoning and interpretable video generation attesting to its effectiveness and generalizability for video generation tasks.

• Object-Centric Video Prediction via Decoupling of Object Dynamics and Interactions [27.112210225969733]
  We propose a novel framework for the task of object-centric video prediction, i.e., extracting the structure of a video sequence, as well as modeling objects dynamics and interactions from visual observations. With the goal of learning meaningful object representations, we propose two object-centric video predictor (OCVP) transformer modules, which de-couple processing of temporal dynamics and object interactions. In our experiments, we show how our object-centric prediction framework utilizing our OCVP predictors outperforms object-agnostic video prediction models on two different datasets.
