Unified Prediction and Planning via Conflict-Aware Disjoint Parameter Training

The paper introduces Disjoint Parameter Training (DPT), a framework that addresses Skill Conflict—where shared encoder parameters hinder separate tasks of motion prediction and safety planning—by training tasks on distinct parameter subsets before merging. DPT employs sparse merging to integrate only the most influential parameters, reducing interference and enhancing representational capacity. Experiments on JRDB and JTA benchmarks show that DPT outperforms existing unified models, demonstrating its effectiveness for safe, resource‑efficient robot navigation.
