Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for predicting future trajectories for an agent in an environment. A system obtains scene context data characterizing the environment. The scene context data includes data that characterizes a trajectory of an agent in a vicinity of a vehicle in an. environment up to a current time point. The system identifies a plurality of initial target locations in the environment. The system further generates, for each of a plurality of target locations that each corresponds to one of the initial target locations, a respective predicted likelihood score that represents a likelihood that the target location will be an intended final location for a future trajectory of the agent starting from the current time point.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for scheduling a workload in a cloud computing system. A cloud affinity factor (CAF) computer model is trained, via a machine learning process based on a training dataset comprising static characteristics of a workload binary for a workload, and dynamic characteristics corresponding to historical performance data for the workload, such that the trained CAF computer model predicts a performance classification for a given workload binary. The trained CAF computer model processes a new workload to generate a performance classification for the new workload. Cloud affinity factor(s) are generated based on the performance classification for the new workload. Node affinity and dispatch rule(s) are applied to the cloud affinity factor(s) to select one or more nodes of the cloud computing system to which to dispatch the workload. The workload is then scheduled on the selected one or more nodes.
