What Probing Reveals about Autonomous Driving: Linking Internal Prediction Errors to Ego Planning

Hyeonchang Jeon, Kyungbeom Kim, Eugene Vinitsky +1

Large-scale datasets and fast simulators have enabled improvements in driving policies that appear safe and robust, yet strong performance in nominal scenarios can still mask flawe…

EMAgnet: Parameter-Space EMA Regularization for Policy Gradient Self-Play in Large Games

Tristan Maidment, JB Lanier, Chase McDonald +5

Recent work has established that regularized policy gradient methods such as PPO, when used in self-play, can match or exceed specialized game-theoretic algorithms for solving two-…

Scaling Self-Play for End-to-End Driving

Luke Rowe, Roger Girgis, Rodrigue de Schaetzen +6

End-to-end autonomous driving models are typically trained on offline human-demonstration datasets that provide limited state coverage and often no closed-loop feedback, making the…

Human-like autonomy emerges from self-play and a pinch of human data

Daphne Cornelisse, Julian Hunt, Zixu Zhang +4

Self-play reinforcement learning has recently emerged as a way to train driving policies without any human data. It uses cheap, large-scale simulations to substitute expensive, lar…

Beyond Self-Play and Scale: A Behavior Benchmark for Generalization in Autonomous Driving

Aron Distelzweig, Faris Janjoš, Andreas Look +7

Recent Autonomous Driving (AD) works such as GigaFlow and PufferDrive have unlocked Reinforcement Learning (RL) at scale as a training strategy for driving policies. Yet such polic…

Scalable Decision Making for Games of Imperfect Information

Samuel Sokota, Eugene Vinitsky, Hengyuan Hu +3

Real-world decision-making generally involves hidden information, that is, information that is unknown to one agent but possessed by another. Unfortunately, the presence of large a…

Estimating cognitive biases with attention-aware inverse planning

Sounak Banerjee, Daphne Cornelisse, Deepak Gopinath +5

People's goal-directed behaviors are influenced by their cognitive biases, and autonomous systems that interact with people should be aware of this. For example, people's attention…
