Abstract
A machine-learned architecture may predict a set of spatially-diverse paths that an object may take in the future. The paths generated by this architecture may be time-invariant (e.g., not identifying a time at which the object may occupy a position along one of these paths) but can be used by a second machine-learned model to predict progress in time along these paths. This segregation of the spatial paths and progress in time along the paths improves the accuracy of the ultimate prediction and better captures rare object behavior.
