Abstract
A machine-learned architecture for estimating the cost determined by a cost function for a prediction node of a tree search for exploring potential paths for controlling a vehicle may include two portions: a set up portion that includes models trained to process static data and a second portion that processes dynamic object data. The respective portions of the architecture may comprise various models that determine intermediate outputs that may be projected into a space associated with estimated cost. That estimated cost may identify an estimate of an output of the cost function for paths that are based on a particular prediction node of the tree search.
