DiffSemanticFusion: Semantic Raster BEV Fusion for Autonomous Driving via Online Map Diffusion

RA-L 2026

Autonomous driving requires accurate scene understanding, including road geometry, traffic agents, and their semantic relationships. In online HD map generation scenarios, raster-based representations are well-suited to vision models but lack geometric precision, while graph-based representations re

Unified Map Prior Encoder for Mapping and Planning

ICRA 2026poster

Online mapping and end-to-end (E2E) planning in autonomous driving are still largely sensor-centric, leaving rich map priors—HD/SD vector maps, rasterized SD maps, and satellite imagery—underused due to heterogeneity, pose drift, and inconsistent availability at test time. We present emph{UMPE}, a U…

MONTROSE: LLM-driven Monte Carlo Tree Search Self-Refinement for Cross-Domain Rumor Detection

ACL 2025finding

With the emergence of new topics on social media as sources of rumor dissemination, addressing the distribution shifts between source and target domains remains a crucial task in cross-domain rumor detection. Existing feature alignment methods, which aim to reduce the discrepancies between domains,…

SparseMeXt: Unlocking the Potential of Sparse Representations for HD Map Construction

IROS 2025

Recent advancements in high-definition (HD) map construction have demonstrated the effectiveness of dense representations, which heavily rely on computationally intensive bird’s-eye view (BEV) features. While sparse representations offer a more efficient alternative by avoiding dense BEV processing,

SemanticFormer: Holistic and Semantic Traffic Scene Representation for Trajectory Prediction Using Knowledge Graphs

RA-L 2024

Trajectory prediction in autonomous driving relies on accurate representation of all relevant contexts of the driving scene, including traffic participants, road topology, traffic signs, as well as their semantic relations to each other. Despite increased attention to this issue, most approaches in
