A multi-view bidirectional spatiotemporal graph network for urban traffic flow imputation

In this study, we propose a novel multi-view bidirectional spatiotemporal graph network called Multi-BiSTGN to impute urban traffic data with complex missing patterns.The proposed model was validated on real-world traffic datasets collected in Wuhan, China. Experimental results showed that Multi-BiSTGN outperformed ten existing baselines under different missing types (random missing, block missing, and mixed missing) and missing rates.

Urban traffic flow prediction: a dynamic temporal graph network considering missing values

We proposed a dynamic temporal graph neural network for traffic flow prediction with missing values.The proposed model was validated on an actual traffic dataset collected in Wuhan, China. Experimental results showed that D-TGNM achieved good prediction results under four missing data scenarios, and outperformed ten existing state-of-the-art baselines.

Adding attention to the neural ordinary differential equation for spatio-temporal prediction

In this study, we propose a novel spatiotemporal attentional neural differential equation (STA-ODE) model for interpretable spatiotemporal prediction tasks.The proposed model was validated on three real-world spatiotemporal datasets. Experimental results showed that STA-ODE outperformed seven existing baselines in terms of prediction accuracy. In addition, we also demonstrated the good interpretation and good prediction accuracy of the STA-ODE model from the perspective of visualization.

Efficient inference of large-scale air quality using a lightweight ensemble predictor

In this study, we propose a Lightweight Ensemble Predictor (LiEnPred) for efficient air quality prediction in large-scale sparse scenarios. In our experiments, we collected air quality data from over 2000 sensors across China over the past three years and evaluated LiEnPred’s prediction performance in large-scale scenarios using PM2.5 and NO2 concentration data. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LiEnPred model matches or exceeds the pre dictive accuracy of eight baselines with faster time efficiency and fewer model parameters.

A lightweight spatiotemporal graph dilated convolutional network for urban sensor state prediction

In this study, we propose a lightweight spatiotemporal graph dilated convolutional network called STGDN with satisfactory prediction accuracy and lower model complexity. We conducted on multi experiments on three real-world spatiotemporal datasets, and the experimental results show that the proposed STGDN model outperforms or achieves comparable prediction accuracy of the existing nine baselines with higher operational efficiency and fewer model parameters.
