Abstract
Learning world models across diverse domains calls for a unified control space, yet ac- tion interfaces vary across domains and action annotations are often scarce. Latent ac- tions learned directly from videos offer a promising way to establish such a space without explicit action supervision. However, learning shared latent actions across domains re- mains challenging, as variations in appearance, embodiment, and dynamics can entangle domain-specific visual cues with transferable transition structure. To this end, we intro- duce OneLA, a simple framework that learns continuous latent actions through a shared orthogonal dictionary and a common predictive objective, without task-specific designs or cross-domain alignment losses during latent action pretraining. These latent actions pro- vide a shared conditioning interface for world models, with lightweight adapters mapping native control commands into the same space. Conditioned on latent actions and the cur- rent visual state, the world model predicts context-dependent transitions for controllable rollout. OneLA improves action readout across domains and reduces action cycle-transfer rotation error by 24.8% over the strongest evaluated baseline. A joint-training comparison further shows a 20.5% improvement in Human Preference Score v3 (HPSv3) for real- scene generation. These results suggest a path toward general-purpose world models that learn from diverse videos and support flexible control through latent action space.
