DriveCritic: Towards Context-Aware, Human-Aligned Evaluation for Autonomous Driving with Vision-Language Models

ICRA 2026poster

Benchmarking autonomous driving planners to align with human judgment remains a critical challenge, as state-of-the-art metrics like the Extended Predictive Driver Model Score (EPDMS) lack context awareness in nuanced scenarios. To address this, we introduce DriveCritic, a novel framework featuring …

DriveSuprim: Towards Precise Trajectory Selection for End-to-End Planning

AAAI 2026technical

Autonomous vehicles must navigate safely in complex driving environments. Imitating a single expert trajectory, as in regression-based approaches, usually does not explicitly assess the safety of the predicted trajectory. Selection-based methods address this by generating and scoring multiple trajec

SMLDR: Spectral Memory Learner with Dual-Retrieval for Time Series Forecasting

IJCAI 2026

Time series forecasting aims to predict future values using historical observations, which is crucial for many practical applications with complex temporal dynamics. Recent frequency-domain forecasting methods have utilized spectral representations to model periodicity, but they usually rely on an i

Enhancing Autonomous Driving Safety with Collision Scenario Integration

IROS 2025

Autonomous vehicle safety is crucial for the successful deployment of self-driving cars. However, most existing planning methods rely heavily on imitation learning, which limits their ability to leverage collision data effectively. Moreover, collecting collision or near-collision data is inherently

Hydra-NeXt: Robust Closed-Loop Driving with Open-Loop Training

ICCV 2025poster

End-to-end autonomous driving research currently faces a critical challenge in bridging the gap between open-loop training and closed-loop deployment. Current approaches are trained to predict trajectories in an open-loop environment, which struggle with quick reactions to other agents in closed-loo…

BEVNeXt: Reviving Dense BEV Frameworks for 3D Object Detection

CVPR 2024poster

Recently the rise of query-based Transformer decoders is reshaping camera-based 3D object detection. These query-based decoders are surpassing the traditional dense BEV (Bird's Eye View)-based methods. However we argue that dense BEV frameworks remain important due to their outstanding abilities in…
