MotionLM is a new approach for predicting the behavior of road agents in autonomous vehicles. It treats the prediction task as a language modeling task, similar to how language models capture complex language distributions. MotionLM outperforms other methods in forecasting the actions of road agents, making it a significant advancement in the field of multi-agent motion prediction.
MotionLM: Innovating Multi-Agent Motion Prediction for Autonomous Vehicles
Autoregressive language models have proven their ability to predict the next subword in a sentence without relying on predefined grammar or parsing concepts. This technique has been extended to domains like audio and image production, where data is represented as discrete tokens, similar to language models. Sequence models, known for their versatility, have attracted interest for predicting complex behaviors in dynamic contexts.
Researchers at Waymo have introduced MotionLM, a pioneering approach to predicting the future behavior of road agents, a crucial aspect of safe planning in autonomous vehicles. MotionLM treats the challenge of multiple-road agent motion prediction as a language modeling problem, framing the prediction task as creating phrases in a language based on the actions of road agents.
Unlike other existing methods, MotionLM avoids complicated optimization procedures and instead uses a simple language modeling goal, maximizing the average log probability of correctly anticipating the motion token sequence. By directly constructing joint distributions over the future actions of multiple actors, MotionLM integrates interaction modeling more effectively.
Through evaluation on the Waymo Open Motion Dataset, MotionLM outperformed other approaches in forecasting the actions of road agents, particularly in challenging situations. This innovative approach offers significant advancements in multi-agent motion prediction for autonomous vehicles.
