  • Publication number: 20250103779
    Abstract: A method learns unsupervised world models for autonomous driving via discrete diffusion. The method includes encoding an observation of an actor for a geographic region using an encoder to generate a prior frame of prior tokens. The method further includes processing the prior frame with a spatio-temporal transformer to generate a predicted frame of predicted tokens. The spatio-temporal transformer includes a spatial transformer and a temporal transformer. The method further includes processing the predicted frame to generate a predicted action for the actor. The method further includes decoding the predicted frame to generate a predicted observation of the geographic region.

  • Publication number: 20250103917
    Abstract: A method of training a knowledge distillation based continual semantic segmentation model may include training the continual semantic segmentation model based on training data, predicting a probability for each class of an output of a current continual semantic segmentation model that has been generated by being trained and a probability for each class of an output of an old continual semantic segmentation model, expanding a class related to the old continual semantic segmentation model so that a spatial dimension of a class related to the old continual semantic segmentation model is the same as a spatial dimension of a class related to the current continual semantic segmentation model, calculating knowledge distillation loss based on the predicted probability for each class, and updating the current continual semantic segmentation model based on the knowledge distillation loss.

  • Publication number: 20250037298
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating simulation data based on real-world dynamic objects are provided. A method includes obtaining two- and three-dimensional data descriptive of a dynamic object in the real world. The two- and three-dimensional information can be provided as an input to a machine-learned model to receive object model parameters descriptive of a pose and shape modification with respect to a three-dimensional template object model. The parameters can represent a three-dimensional dynamic object model indicative of an object pose and an object shape for the dynamic object. The method can be repeated on sequential two- and three-dimensional information to generate a sequence of object model parameters over time. Portions of a sequence of parameters can be stored as simulation data descriptive of a simulated trajectory of a unique dynamic object. The parameters can be evaluated by an objective function to refine the parameters and train the machine-learned model.
