Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for agent behavior prediction using keypoint data. One of the methods includes obtaining data characterizing a scene in an environment, the data comprising: (i) context data comprising data characterizing historical trajectories of a plurality of agents up to the current time point; and (ii) keypoint data for a target agent; processing the context data using a context data encoder neural network to generate a context embedding for the target agent; processing the keypoint data using a keypoint encoder neural network to generate a keypoint embedding for the target agent; generating a combined embedding for the target agent from the context embedding and the keypoint embedding; and processing the combined embedding using a decoder neural network to generate a behavior prediction output for the target agent that characterizes predicted behavior of the target agent after the current time point.
