  • Patent number: 12221118
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing knowledge distillation for autonomous vehicles. One of the methods includes obtaining sensor data characterizing an environment, wherein the sensor data has been captured by one or more sensors on-board a vehicle in the environment; processing, for each of one or more surrounding agents in the environment, a network input generated from the sensor data using a neural network to generate an agent discomfort prediction that characterizes a level of discomfort of the agent; combining the one or more agent discomfort predictions to generate an aggregated discomfort score; and providing the aggregated discomfort score to a path planning system of the vehicle in order to generate a future path of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240278802
    Abstract: Data representing a set of predicted trajectories and a planned trajectory for an autonomous vehicle is obtained. A predictability score for the planned trajectory can be determined based on a comparison of the planned trajectory to the set of predicted trajectories for the autonomous vehicle. The predictability score indicates a level of predictability of the planned trajectory. A determination can be made, based at least on the predictability score, whether to initiate travel with the autonomous vehicle along the planned trajectory. In response to determining to initiate travel with the autonomous vehicle along the planned trajectory, a control system can be directed to maneuver the autonomous vehicle along the planned trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11989755
    Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating information in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can obtain or receive a content placement criterion, such as a keyword, associated with a content item and can determine a quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can identify a candidate content placement criterion and expand placement criteria associated with the content item to include the content placement criterion and the candidate content placement criterion based at least in part on an evaluation of the quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can expand placement criteria based in part on a throttling parameter. The data processing system can identify a correlation between a document and the placement criteria to identify appropriate content items for the document.

  • Patent number: 11977382
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying high-priority agents in the vicinity of a vehicle. The high-priority agents can be identified based on a set of mutual importance scores in which each mutual importance score indicates an estimated mutual relevance between the vehicle and a different agent from a set of agents on planning decisions of the other. The mutual importance scores can be calculated based on importance scores assessed from the perspectives of both the vehicle and the agents.

  • Publication number: 20230280753
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for predicting future trajectories of agents in an environment. In one aspect, a system comprises one or more computers configured to receive a data set comprising multiple training examples. The training examples include scene data comprising respective agent data for multiple agents and a ground truth trajectory for a target agent that represents ground truth motion of the target agent after a corresponding time point. The one or more computers obtain data identifying one or more of the multiple agents as non-causal agents for each training example. A non-causal agent is an agent whose states do not cause the ground truth trajectory for the target agent to change. The one or more computers generate a respective modified training example from each of the multiple training examples.
