DriveGPT: Scaling Autoregressive Behavior Models for Driving

ICML 2025poster

We present DriveGPT, a scalable behavior model for autonomous driving. We model driving as a sequential decision-making task, and learn a transformer model to predict future agent states as tokens in an autoregressive fashion. We scale up our model parameters and training data by multiple orders of…

Flash3D: Super-scaling Point Transformers through Joint Hardware-Geometry Locality

CVPR 2025highlight

Recent efforts recognize the power of scale in 3D learning (e.g. PTv3) and attention mechanisms (e.g. FlashAttention).However, current point cloud backbones fail to holistically unify geometric locality, attention mechanisms, and GPU architectures in one view.In this paper, we introduce Flash3D Tran…

Towards Uniformly Superhuman Autonomy via Subdominance Minimization

ICML 2022spotlight

Prevalent imitation learning methods seek to produce behavior that matches or exceeds average human performance. This often prevents achieving expert-level or superhuman performance when identifying the better demonstrations to imitate is difficult. We instead assume demonstrations are of varying qu…

Hierarchical Metric Learning and Matching for 2D and 3D Geometric Correspondences

ECCV 2018poster

Interest point descriptors have fueled progress on almost every problem in computer vision. Recent advances in deep neural networks have enabled task-specific learned descriptors that outperform hand-crafted descriptors on many problems. We demonstrate that commonly used metric learning approaches d…

R2P2: A ReparameteRized Pushforward Policy for Diverse, Precise Generative Path Forecasting

ECCV 2018poster

We propose a method to forecast a vehicle's ego-motion as a distribution over spatiotemporal paths, conditioned on features (e.g., from LIDAR and images) embedded in an overhead map. The method learns a policy inducing a distribution over simulated trajectories that is both diverse (produces most pa…

DESIRE: Distant Future Prediction in Dynamic Scenes With Interacting Agents

CVPR 2017spotlight

We introduce a Deep Stochastic IOC RNN Encoder-decoder framework, DESIRE, for the task of future predictions of multiple interacting agents in dynamic scenes. DESIRE effectively predicts future locations of objects in multiple scenes by 1) accounting for the multi-modal nature of the future predicti…

Learning product set models of fault triggers in high-dimensional software interfaces

IROS 2015poster

We propose a method for generating interpretable descriptions of inputs that cause faults in high-dimensional software interfaces. Our method models the set of fault-triggering inputs as a Cartesian product and identifies this set by actively querying the system under test. The active sampling schem…
