Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating trajectory predictions for one or more target agents, e.g., a vehicle, a cyclist, or a pedestrian, in an environment. In one aspect, one of the methods include: obtaining scene context data characterizing a scene at a current time point in an environment that includes multiple target agents; generating, from the scene context data, an encoded representation of the scene in the environment; and generating, by a diffusion model based on the encoded representation, a respective trajectory prediction output that predicts a respective future trajectory for each of the multiple target agents after the current time point.
