World Models and Virtual Cell
A presentation tracing world models from latent prediction and the JEPA lineage to theory, control, and virtual-cell modeling.
This 30-page presentation follows a path from predictive representation learning to biological world models. It asks how a model can move beyond single-step prediction toward representations of dynamics, interventions, and consequences.
The presentation covers:
- the foundations and motivation of world models;
- the JEPA lineage from I-JEPA and V-JEPA to V-JEPA 2 and 2.1;
- LeJEPA and LeWorldModel as links between theory and control; and
- Virtual Cell as a biological world model.
