From Discriminative to Generative: A Diffusion-Based Paradigm for Multi-Agent Collaborative Perception

Collaborative perception leveraging intermediate feature fusion has emerged as a leading paradigm to significantly enhance the environmental perception capabilities of autonomous driving systems. However, existing methods typically rely on discriminative supervision guided by downstream tasks. This paradigm compels models to learn minimal, task-specific representations, which conflicts with the goal of cooperative perception to capture comprehensive information, thereby limiting generalization. To address this issue, we propose DiGS-CP, a novel two-stage generative supervised collaborative perception framework. Specifically, we introduce a diffusion-based generative task that conditions on fused object-level features to generate representations of object-level point clouds. The proposed generative supervision provides fine-grained, task-agnostic signals that encourages the fusion module to learn comprehensive representations beyond task-specific requirements. By preserving and integrating complementary information from collaborative agents, our approach overcomes the limitations of task-specific learning and enhances the generalizability of the learned features. Furthermore, our two-stage architecture requires agents to transmit only object-level features, significantly reducing communication overhead. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that DiGS-CP achieves state-of-the-art performance in 3D object detection, while maintaining low bandwidth requirements and exhibiting excellent generalization ability.

Collaborative perception improves task performance by expanding the perception range through information sharing among agents. Immutable heterogeneity poses a significant challenge in collaborative perception, as participating agents may employ different and fixed perception models. This leads to domain gaps in the intermediate features shared among agents, consequently degrading collaborative performance. Aligning the features of all agents to a common representation can eliminate domain gaps with low training cost. However, in existing methods, the common representation is designated as the representation of a specific agent, making it difficult for agents with significant domain discrepancies from this specific agent to achieve proper alignment. This paper proposes NegoCollab, a heterogeneous collaboration method based on the negotiated common representation. It introduces a negotiator during training to derive the common representation from the local representations of each modality's agent, effectively reducing the inherent domain gap with the various local representations. In NegoCollab, the mutual transformation of features between the local representation space and the common representation space is achieved by a pair of sender and receiver. To better align local representations to the common representation containing multimodal information, we introduce structural alignment loss and pragmatic alignment loss in addition to the distribution alignment loss to supervise the training. This enables the knowledge in the common representation to be fully distilled into the sender. The experimental results demonstrate that NegoCollab significantly outperforms existing methods in common representation-based collaboration approaches. The mechanism of obtaining common representations through negotiation provides a more reliable and flexible option for common representations in heterogeneous collaborative perception.

This paper proposes AlphaRoute, an AlphaGo inspired algorithm for coordinating large-scale routes, built upon graph attention reinforcement learning and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). We first partition the road network into regions and model large-scale coordinated route planning as a Markov game, where each partitioned region is treated as a player instead of each driver. Then, AlphaRoute applies a bilevel optimization framework, consisting of several region planners and a global planner, where the region planner coordinates the route choices for vehicles located in the region and generates several strategies, and the global planner evaluates the combination of strategies. AlphaRoute is built on graph attention network for evaluating each state and MCTS algorithm for dynamically visiting and simulating the future state for narrowing down the search space. AlphaRoute is capable of 1) bridging user fairness and system efficiency, 2) achieving higher search efficiency by alleviating the curse of dimensionality problems, and 3) making an effective and informed route planning by simulating over the future to capture traffic dynamics. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on two real-world road networks as compared with several baselines to evaluate the performance, and results show that AlphaRoute achieves the lowest travel time, and is efficient and effective for coordinating large-scale routes and alleviating the traffic congestion problem. The code will be publicly available.

GPLight: Grouped Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning for Large-scale Traffic Signal Control

The use of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods in coordinating traffic lights (CTL) has become increasingly popular, treating each intersection as an agent. However, existing MARL approaches either treat each agent absolutely homogeneous, i. e. , same network and parameter for each agent, or treat each agent completely heterogeneous, i. e. , different networks and parameters for each agent. This creates a difficult balance between accuracy and complexity, especially in large-scale CTL. To address this challenge, we propose a grouped MARL method named GPLight. We first mine the similarity between agent environment considering both real-time traffic flow and static fine-grained road topology. Then we propose two loss functions to maintain a learnable and dynamic clustering, one that uses mutual information estimation for better stability, and the other that maximizes separability between groups. Finally, GPLight enforces the agents in a group to share the same network and parameters. This approach reduces complexity by promoting cooperation within the same group of agents while reflecting differences between groups to ensure accuracy. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we conduct experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets, with up to 1, 089 intersections. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, experiment results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method, especially in large-scale CTL.
