Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for intervention behavior prediction. one of the methods includes receiving data characterizing a scene that includes a first agent and a second agent in an environment and receiving intervention data specifying a planned intervention to be performed by the second agent. a conditional behavior prediction output that assigns, to each of a plurality of possible future behaviors, (i) a respective conditional likelihood that the first agent performs the possible future behavior given that the second agent performs the planned intervention and (ii) a predicted value of a confounder variable for the possible future behavior is generated using a conditional behavior prediction model. an intervention behavior prediction for the first agent is generated by, for each possible future behavior, generating a corrected likelihood for the possible future behavior based on the respective conditional likelihood for the possible future behavior and the predicted value of the confounder variable for the possible future behavior.
