Back to the Future: Planning-Aware Trajectory Forecasting for Autonomous Driving

ai.stanford.edu 14d

Merging into traffic is one of the most common day-to-day maneuvers we perform as drivers, yet still poses a major problem for self-driving vehicles. The reason that humans can naturally navigate through many social interaction scenarios, such as merging in traffic, is that they have an intrinsic capacity to reason about other people’s intents, beliefs, and desires, using such reasoning...

We projected head-dependent pairs from both English (light colors) and French (dark colors) into a syntactic space trained on solely English mBERT representations. Both English and French head-dependent vectors cluster; dependencies of the same label in both English and French share the same cluster. Although our method has no access to dependency labels, the dependencies exhibit cross-lingual clustering that largely...
