TL;DR: Contrastive Representation Learning + Negative Data Augmentations 🡲 Robust Neural Motion Models

[New] our more recent work on this topic:
Towards Robust and Adaptive Motion Forecasting: A Causal Representation Perspective, CVPR 2022.

Preparation

Setup environments follwoing the SETUP.md

Training & Evaluation

  • Behavioral Cloning (Vanilla)
    python imitate.py --contrast_weight=0.0 --gpu
    python test.py --policy='sail' --circle --model_file=data/output/imitate-baseline-data-0.50/policy_net.pth
    
  • Social-NCE + Conventional Negative Sampling (Local)
    python imitate.py --contrast_weight=2.0 --contrast_sampling='local' --gpu
    python test.py --policy='sail' --circle --model_file=data/output/imitate-local-data-0.50-weight-2.0-horizon-4-temperature-0.20-nboundary-0-range-2.00/policy_net.pth
    
  • Social-NCE + Safety-driven Negative Sampling (Ours)
    python imitate.py --contrast_weight=2.0 --contrast_sampling='event' --gpu
    python test.py --policy='sail' --circle --model_file=data/output/imitate-event-data-0.50-weight-2.0-horizon-4-temperature-0.20-nboundary-0/policy_net.pth
    
  • Method Comparison
    bash script/run_vanilla.sh && bash script/run_local.sh && bash script/run_snce.sh
    python utils/compare.py
