Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for anomaly estimation for behavior predictions using a neural network. One of the methods includes receiving data characterizing a scene that includes an agent in an environment. A behavior prediction input generated from the data is processed using a behavior prediction model. The behavior prediction model is configured to process the behavior prediction input to generate a predicted probability distribution over a plurality of possible behaviors for the agent. An anomaly estimation input generated from the data is processed using an anomaly estimation model. The anomaly estimation model is configured to process the anomaly estimation input to generate a prediction error for the predicted probability distribution. The prediction error indicates an error between the predicted probability distribution generated by the behavior prediction model and another predicted probability distribution generated by another behavior prediction model.
