Abstract: Diffusion for realistic scene generation includes obtaining a current set of agent state vectors and a map data of a geographic region, and iteratively, through multiple diffusion timesteps, updating the current set of agent state vectors. Iteratively updating includes processing, by a noise prediction model, the current set of agent state vectors, a current diffusion timestep of the plurality of diffusion timesteps, and the map data to obtain a noise prediction value, generating a mean using the noise prediction value, generating a distribution function according to the mean, sampling a revised set of agent state vectors from the distribution function, and replacing the current set of agent state vectors with the revised set of agent state vectors. The current set of agent state vectors are outputted.

Abstract: Imitation and reinforcement learning for multi-agent simulation includes performing operations. The operations include obtaining a first real-world scenario of agents moving according to first trajectories and simulating the first real-world scenario in a virtual world to generate first simulated states. The simulating includes processing, by an agent model, the first simulated states for the agents to obtain second trajectories. For each of at least a subset of the agents, a difference between a first corresponding trajectory of the agent and a second corresponding trajectory of the agent is calculated and determining an imitation loss is determined based on the difference. The operations further include evaluating the second trajectories according to a reward function to generate a reinforcement learning loss, calculating a total loss as a combination of the imitation loss and the reinforcement learning loss, and updating the agent model using the total loss.
