    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for intervention behavior prediction. One of the methods includes receiving data characterizing a scene that includes a first agent and a second agent in an environment. A confounder prediction input generated from the data is processed using a confounder prediction model. A plurality of predicted conditional probability distributions is generated, wherein each predicted conditional probability distribution is conditioned on: (i) a planned intervention by the second agent, and (ii) the confounder variable belonging to a corresponding confounder class. An intervention behavior prediction for the first agent is generated based on the plurality of the predicted conditional probability distributions and the confounder distribution, wherein the intervention behavior prediction includes a probability distribution over the plurality of the possible behaviors for the first agent in reaction to the second agent performing the planned intervention.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing inputs using slice-based dynamic neural networks. One of the methods includes receiving a new input for processing by a neural network that includes a first conditional neural network layer that has a set of shared parameters and a respective set of slice parameters for each of a plurality of slices. One or more slices to which the new input belongs are identified. The new input is processed to generate a network output, including: receiving a layer input to the first conditional neural network layer; and processing the layer input using the set of shared parameters, the respective one or more sets of slice parameters for the identified one or more slices, but not the respective sets of slice parameters for any other slices to which the new input does not belong.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating training data for training a machine learning model to perform trajectory prediction. One of the methods includes: obtaining a training input, the training input including (i) data characterizing an agent in an environment as of a first time and (ii) data characterizing a candidate trajectory of the agent in the environment for a first time period that is after the first time. A long-term label for the candidate trajectory that indicates whether the agent actually followed the candidate trajectory for the first time period is determined. A short-term label for the candidate trajectory that indicates whether the agent intended to follow the candidate trajectory is determined. A ground-truth probability for the candidate trajectory is determined. The training input is associated with the ground-truth probability for the candidate trajectory in the training data.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying high-priority agents in the vicinity of a vehicle and, for only those agents which are high priority agents, generating data characterizing the agents using a first prediction model. In a first aspect, a system identifies multiple agents in an environment in a vicinity of a vehicle. The system generates a respective importance score for each of the agents by processing a feature representation of each agent using an importance scoring model. The importance score for an agent characterizes an estimated impact of the agent on planning decisions generated by a planning system of the vehicle which plans a future trajectory of the vehicle. The system identifies, as high-priority agents, a proper subset of the plurality of agents with the highest importance scores.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a representation of a trajectory of a target agent in an environment. In one aspect, the representation of the trajectory of the target agent in the environment is a concatenation of a plurality of channels, where each channel is represented as a two-dimensional array of data values. Each position in each channel corresponds to a respective spatial position in the environment, and corresponding positions in different channels correspond to the same spatial position in the environment. The channels include a time channel and a respective motion channel corresponding to each motion parameter in a predetermined set of motion parameters.
