Research Contributions

Trajectory reconstruction

Developed ProChunkFormer for sparse GPS reconstruction. On Porto taxi data at 240-second sampling intervals, reduced runtime by 20.7% and road-network MAE by 25.1% versus an autoregressive Transformer.

Motion prediction analysis

Designed SDA to measure the contributions of historical motion, current state, and goal information. Evaluated LSTM and Transformer forecasting on Porto taxi and ETH pedestrian data.
