COTTA: Context-Aware Transfer Adaptation for Trajectory Prediction in Autonomous Driving
Researchers have developed a new transfer learning strategy called COTTA to improve trajectory prediction models for autonomous driving in diverse geographic regions. When transferring models trained on U.S. data to Korean road environments, COTTA demonstrated significant performance gains. Specifically, fine-tuning only the decoder while keeping the encoder frozen reduced prediction error by over 66% compared to training from scratch, offering a practical approach for deploying these safety-critical systems globally.
