Mode-as-Sequence: Translating Multimodal Motion Prediction into Unified Sequential Mode Modeling
Researchers have introduced Mode-as-Sequence, a novel framework for multimodal motion forecasting that addresses the challenge of sparse supervision by modeling dependencies between predicted future trajectories. This approach aims to generate more diverse and reliable predictions, improving confidence ranking and accuracy. The framework includes two instantiations, ModeSeq and Parallel ModeSeq, which have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in Waymo Open Dataset challenges, securing first place in key prediction tracks.
