• Abstract: Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications have greatly enhanced the perception capabilities of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) by enabling information sharing to "see through the occlusions", resulting in significant performance improvements. However, developing and training complex multi-agent perception models from scratch can be expensive and unnecessary when existing single-agent models show remarkable generalization capabilities. In this paper, we propose a new framework termed MACP, which equips a single-agent pre-trained model with cooperation capabilities. We approach this objective by identifying the key challenges of shifting from single-agent to cooperative settings, adapting the model by freezing most of its parameters and adding a few lightweight modules. We demonstrate in our experiments that the proposed framework can effectively utilize cooperative observations and outperform other state-of-the-art approaches in both simulated and real-world cooperative perception benchmarks while requiring substantially fewer tunable parameters with reduced communication costs.

  Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication offers an optimal solution to overcome the perception limitations of single-agent systems. We propose two different architectures, named Paint-To-Puzzle (PTP) and Co-Sketching-Co-Co, for conducting cooperative perception. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on both real and simulated cooperative perception datasets.

We propose two metrics that assess the distance between weights to be merged and can serve as an indicator of the merging outcomes.

Existing approaches for adapting pretrained models for vision-language tasks still rely on several key components that hinder their efficiency. We show that by freezing more than 99% of total parameters, training only one linear projection layer, and prepending only one trainable token, our approach (dubbed eP-ALM) significantly outperforms other baselines on VQA and Captioning.

We explore to accelerate large-model inference by conditional computation based on the sparse activation phenomenon. We propose to transform a large model into its mixture-of-experts (MoE) version with equal model size, namely MoEfication.

  We make the first attempt to explore a universal multi-agent reinforcement learning pipeline, designing one single architecture to fit tasks.

The proposed model, named as Universal Policy Decoupling Transformer (UPDeT), further relaxes the action restriction and makes the multi-agent task's decision process more explainable.
