Graph-Based Deep Modeling and Real Time Forecasting of Sparse Spatio-Temporal Data

Wang, Bao, Luo, Xiyang, Zhang, Fangbo et al.

Understand

We present a generic framework for spatio-temporal (ST) data modeling, analysis, and forecasting, with a special focus on data that is sparse in both space and time.

  • Our multi-scaled framework is a seamless coupling of two major components: a self-exciting point process that models the macroscale statistical behaviors of the ST data and a graph structured recurrent neural network (GSRNN) to discover the microscale patterns of the ST data on the inferred graph.
  • This novel deep neural network (DNN) incorporates the real time interactions of the graph nodes to enable more accurate real time forecasting.
  • The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated on both crime and traffic forecasting.
