Test-Time Self Improvement by Scaling Unsupervised World Internalization
Published in Under review at ICLR 2027, 1900
Experiments used Qwen 9B and 27B models across Harvey, StudyBench, and Equational Theories. U-WIN increased the share of agentic trajectories that recall environment knowledge from 20.6% to 99.8%. Self-written notes also outperformed token-matched raw documents or observations for knowledge retention.
