Thanks for your question! We used 1/L_2 of difference in distance to represent on the relationship between the agents. If agents are far away it will have a vey small weight and the closer the bigger the value of the relationship becomes. The special case when the L_2 is zero, so 1/0 = inf = the strongest relationship. We set this case to be 0, the reason behind this selection that setting any value beside 0 for this situation as I recall lead to a degraded performance. Reflecting on this, it’s like two persons walking in parallel next to each other which can be seen globally as a one entity. So, setting to 0 allowed us to disentangle this special case and treating it as a single entity in concept even though they are several entities.
I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best, Abduallah

My English is bad if you don't know what I ask, please let me know, thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't focus on being 0 or not being 0. Maybe my bad example made you confused. Let me show another example: In my opinion, replacing Steprel with Step is better, but the result is worse, just like #15.
I agree with you that step_ might be better than steprel but the results says otherwise. It could be the importance of the deltas vs the importance of displacement, and maybe the acceleration will work better? or even having edges with step, step_rel & step_acc ? Overall, it's an assumption from our point of view and the model might says something else driven by the data and the nature of data representation.
OK, I'll try more ideas about this issue. Thank you.
