Behavior prediction in dynamic, multi-agent systems is an important problem the context of self-driving cars, due to complex representations and interactions road components, including moving agents (e.g. pedestrians vehicles) information lanes, traffic lights). This paper introduces VectorNet, a hierarchical graph neural network that first exploits spatial locality individual components represented by vectors then models high-order among all components. In contrast most recent approaches,...

Predicting the future behavior of moving agents is essential for real world applications. It challenging as intent agent and corresponding unknown intrinsically multimodal. Our key insight that prediction within a moderate time horizon, modes can be effectively captured by set target states. This leads to our target-driven trajectory (TNT) framework. TNT has three stages which are trained end-to-end. first predicts an agent's potential states $T$ steps into future, encoding its interactions...

Constructing HD semantic maps is a central component of autonomous driving. However, traditional pipelines require vast amount human efforts and resources in annotating maintaining the semantics map, which limits its scalability. In this paper, we introduce problem map learning, dynamically constructs local based on onboard sensor observations. Meanwhile, learning method, dubbed HDMapNet. HDMapNet encodes image features from surrounding cameras and/or point clouds LiDAR, predicts vectorized...

The research community has increasing interest in autonomous driving research, despite the resource intensity of obtaining representative real world data. Existing self-driving datasets are limited scale and variation environments they capture, even though generalization within between operating regions is crucial to overall viability technology. In an effort help align community's contributions with real-world problems, we introduce a new large scale, high quality, diverse dataset. Our...

We solve a challenging yet practically useful variant of 3D Bin Packing Problem (3D-BPP). In our problem, the agent has limited information about items to be packed into single bin, and an item must immediately after its arrival without buffering or readjusting. The item's placement also subjects constraints order dependence physical stability. formulate this online 3D-BPP as constrained Markov decision process (CMDP). To we propose effective easy-to-implement deep reinforcement learning...

In autonomous driving, goal-based multi-trajectory prediction methods are proved to be effective recently, where they first score goal candidates, then select a final set of goals, and finally complete trajectories based on the selected goals. However, these usually involve predictions sparse predefined anchors. this work, we propose an anchor-free model, named DenseTNT, which performs dense probability estimation for trajectory prediction. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance,...
