TSMini: A Simple Yet Highly Effective Trajectory Similarity Learning Model

TSMini is a trajectory similarity learning model that introduces a sub-view modeling mechanism and a k‑nearest‑neighbor‑based loss to capture multi‑granularity trajectory patterns and relative similarity ranks. These innovations allow TSMini to approximate conventional trajectory similarity measures with high accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that TSMini outperforms state‑of‑the‑art models by an average of 15% on widely used similarity metrics.

WALT: Learning World-Model-Aligned Latent Trajectories for Autonomous Driving

WALT introduces a method to align latent trajectories with pretrained driving world models, creating a compact generative trajectory space that preserves action-relevant semantics without altering the original model. The approach uses a dual-branch autoencoder to map raw waypoints into this latent space and transfers visual world knowledge into trajectory representations. Experiments on NAVSIM benchmarks show modest performance gains and a 30.5% reduction in planner FLOPs, indicating that maintaining world representations while extracting action-relevant information can improve trajectory planning efficiency.

Hyperspectral Trajectory Image for Multi-Month Trajectory Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces TITAnD, a Trajectory Image Transformer that converts dense and sparse GPS trajectories into a Hyperspectral Trajectory Image (HTI) and applies vision-based classification and segmentation for anomaly detection. It employs a Cyclic Factorized Transformer (CFT) that splits attention along within-day and across-day axes, drastically reducing computational cost and enabling multi-month analysis. Empirical results show TITAnD outperforms existing sparse and dense benchmarks, achieving higher AUC-PR and faster inference than comparable Transformers.

A Dynamic Fusion Large Language Model for Traffic Flow Prediction

The paper introduces DF-LLM, a Dynamic Fusion Large Language Model designed for traffic flow prediction. It combines a spatiotemporal embedding module, a fusion module that uses graph convolution to capture spatial topology and dynamic dependencies, and an LLM backbone with differentiated parameter adaptation and context aggregation attention. Experiments on four datasets demonstrate that DF-LLM outperforms existing methods in predictive accuracy.
