Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents ProgD, a novel progressive multi-scale decoding approach that models evolving social interactions with dynamic heterogeneous graphs. Unlike prior methods that treat interactions as static, ProgD progressively captures spatio-temporal dependencies and reduces uncertainty in future agent motions. This leads to more accurate joint multi-agent motion forecasts.
Market Size (TAM)
