Context-aware Attention-based Gaussian Mixture Models for Vehicular Trajectory Prediction

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper presents Context-Aware Attention-based Gaussian Mixture Models (CAA‑GMM) for predicting vehicular trajectories in complex, uncertain environments. CAA‑GMM models future motion as a probabilistic mixture conditioned on scene context and agent dynamics, using a lightweight attention mechanism to encode inter‑agent interactions and contextual salience. Experiments on nuScenes and Argoverse 2 show competitive or superior accuracy to raster‑based baselines while keeping computational complexity low, and ablation studies confirm the attention module’s importance for robust contextual reasoning.

M3-Former: Multimodal Transformer with Mixture-of-Experts for Long-Term Vessel Trajectory Prediction

M3-Former is a multimodal transformer framework that uses large language models to encode vessel static attributes and navigational intent as semantic priors for long‑term trajectory prediction. It builds a unified multimodal representation space, aligns static semantic information with dynamic trajectory features via self‑attention, and employs a dual‑granularity Mixture‑of‑Experts architecture to capture both global route planning and fine‑grained maneuvering behaviors. A Steering‑Weighted Cross‑Entropy loss further improves accuracy on sparse turning events, and experiments on a Danish AIS dataset show consistent improvements over state‑of‑the‑art baselines, reducing ADE and FDE by up to 5.1% in 4‑hour predictions.

Active Client Selection in Federated Trajectory Prediction with Uncertainty-Awareness and Heterogeneous Complexity

The paper introduces active client selection strategies for federated learning in autonomous vehicle trajectory prediction, addressing challenges of high scene uncertainty and heterogeneous complexity across different driving environments. It proposes uncertainty-aware selectors that use per-client negative log-likelihood and aleatoric uncertainty, as well as a joint selector that balances scene complexity and uncertainty to prioritize informative clients. Experiments on the Argoverse dataset show that federated models outperform local training, with uncertainty-aware selection speeding convergence and improving key metrics, while the joint selector yields the best generalization under strong heterogeneity.
