Abstract: A method of generating an output trajectory of an ego vehicle includes recording trajectory data of the ego vehicle and pedestrian agents from a scene of a training environment of the ego vehicle. The method includes identifying at least one pedestrian agent from the pedestrian agents within the scene of the training environment of the ego vehicle causing a prediction-discrepancy by the ego vehicle greater than the pedestrian agents within the scene. The method includes updating parameters of a motion prediction model of the ego vehicle based on a magnitude of the prediction-discrepancy caused by the at least one pedestrian agent on the ego vehicle to form a trained, control-aware prediction objective model. The method includes selecting a vehicle control action of the ego vehicle in response to a predicted motion from the trained, control-aware prediction objective model regarding detected pedestrian agents within a traffic environment of the ego vehicle.

Abstract: A method for sequential point cloud forecasting is described. The method includes training a vector-quantized conditional variational autoencoder (VQ-CVAE) framework to map an output to a closest vector in a discrete latent space to obtain a future latent space. The method also includes outputting, by a trained VQ-CVAE, a categorical distribution of a probability of V vectors in a discrete latent space in response to an input previously sampled latent space and past point cloud sequences. The method further includes sampling an inferred future latent space from the categorical distribution of the probability of the V vectors in the discrete latent space. The method also includes predicting a future point cloud sequence according to the inferred future latent space and the past point cloud sequences. The method further includes denoising, by a denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM), the predicted future point cloud sequences according to an added noise.

Abstract: Messaging-based transactions may be transmitted by using an intermediary host to receive transaction information from a sender. The sender and the transaction information are authenticated, and the transaction information is packaged as a transaction when the sender and the transaction information are authenticated. A trusted transaction message is generated configured to indicate to a recipient that the trusted transaction message has been authenticated, wherein the trusted transaction message is configured to execute the transaction when a recipient interacts with the transaction in the trusted transaction message. The trusted transaction message is transmitted.

Abstract: An intermediary host may enroll a user in a messaging-based transaction system. In particular, an intermediary host interfaces with a partner data store and compares a partner data store with an internal store. As a result, a user common to both the partner data store and the internal store may be identified. The user may be prompted to enroll in a messaging-based transaction system; or when the user already is enrolled in a messaging-based transaction system, receive a trusted transaction message to pay a bill for the partner using the messaging-based transaction system.
