GAME-UP: Game-Aware Mode Enumeration and Understanding for Trajectory Prediction
share
Interactions between road agents present a significant challenge in trajectory prediction, especially in cases involving multiple agents. Because existing diversity-aware predictors do not account for the interactive nature of multi-agent predictions, they may miss these important interaction outcomes. In this paper, we propose GAME-UP, a framework for trajectory prediction that leverages game-theoretic inverse reinforcement learning to improve coverage of multi-modal predictions. We use a training-time game-theoretic numerical analysis as an auxiliary loss resulting in improved coverage and accuracy without presuming a taxonomy of actions for the agents. We demonstrate our approach on the interactive subset of Waymo Open Motion Dataset, including three subsets involving scenarios with high interaction complexity. Experiment results show that our predictor produces accurate predictions while covering twice as many possible interactions versus a baseline model.
