What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Decision Transformer (DT) has demonstrated strong performance in various offline reinforcement learning (RL) tasks by conditioning action generation on expected future returns and historical trajectories. However, treating expected future returns as the condition provides an incomplete description of the future, as trajectories with different state transitions and behaviors may share similar returns. Moreover, expected future returns inherently depend on task-specific reward functions, which makes policy learning reliant on reward-labeled datasets and restricts its scalability to tasks with similar but unseen rewards. Recently, Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA) have emerged as a promising paradigm of self-supervised learning-based world models, which learn predictive representations of future dynamics in latent space rather than reconstructing future states in the original space. Inspired by JEPA, we propose DT-JEPA, an offline pretraining and online fine-tuning framework that learns general knowledge from reward-free offline trajectories and achieves excellent adaptation to unseen tasks. Instead of predicting a single deterministic future embedding, we design a novel probabilistic predictor to model the conditional distribution of future representations in the latent space, thereby capturing both predictive information and uncertainty about future dynamics. Theoretically, we show that 1) the JEPA objective seeks to maximize a variational lower bound on the mutual information between historical representations and future trajectories; and 2) predictive future-conditioned policy learning admits a finite-sample performance bound with an O(N-1/4) estimation term. Experiments on D4RL benchmarks demonstrate that DT-JEPA achieves efficient adaptation across varying offline RL tasks, outperforming traditional DT-based and other offline RL methods.
