Ego2World: Compiling Egocentric Cooking Videos into Executable Worlds for Belief-State Planning

October 2026 Under review

Overview

Ego2World turns egocentric real-world videos into an executable symbolic simulator for large-model embodied agents.

Positioning

The project targets long-horizon task planning, belief-state maintenance, error recovery, and execution under partial observability.

Status

The paper is under review and forms part of the broader Egocentric Compilation research line.

Evaluation

The public preprint evaluates six planners on 105 tasks. In a separate paired Qwen-Plus experiment, persistent belief raises action validity by 4.15 percentage points and reduces visual-query attempts by 90.27%, with higher token use and no detected completion gain. These findings distinguish valid execution from actual goal attainment.
