The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Learning Latent Dynamics for Planning from Pixels](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hafner-2018-learning-latent-dynamics-planning-pixels/)** *(2018 · 394 citations)* Planning works well when an agent knows how its environment behaves. Learning such dynamics from raw images accurately enough to plan with them has long been difficult. PlaNet (Deep Planning Network) addresses this. It is a fully model-based agent that learns a compact latent dynamics model from 64×64 pixel…
2. **[A Human-Inspired Reading Agent with Gist Memory of Very Long Contexts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lee-2024-human-inspired-reading-agent-gist/)** *(2024 · 46 citations)* Large language models have a hard limit on input length, and their accuracy often drops on long inputs well before that limit.
