Human intention prediction is a growing area of research where an activity in a video has to be anticipated by a vision-based system. To this end, the model creates a representation of the past, and subsequently, it produces future hypotheses about upcoming scenarios. In this work, we focus on pedestrians' early intention prediction in which, from a current observation of an urban scene, the model predicts the future activity of pedestrians that approach the street. Our method is based on a multi-modal transformer that encodes past observations and produces multiple predictions at different anticipation times. Moreover, we propose to learn the attention masks of our transformer-based model (Temporal Adaptive Mask Transformer) in order to weigh differently present and past temporal dependencies. We investigate our method on several public benchmarks for early intention prediction, improving the prediction performances at different anticipation times compared to the previous works.
