Researchers have introduced M3-Former, a novel multimodal trajectory prediction framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) to improve long-term forecasting of vessel movements. The framework integrates static vessel attributes and navigational intent by encoding semantic information with a pre-trained LLM and aligning it with dynamic trajectory data. A dual-granularity Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture is employed to capture both global navigation trends and local motion variations, while a specialized loss function addresses the challenge of predicting sparse turning samples. Experiments on a Danish AIS dataset show M3-Former outperforms existing methods, reducing Average Displacement Error (ADE) and Final Displacement Error (FDE) by over 4% in 4-hour predictions. AI
