Learning to Forecast on Multiple Spatiotemporal Hierarchies

The paper introduces a graph deep learning framework that learns to forecast spatiotemporal data across multiple hierarchical structures, using variations among hierarchies as multi‑task regularization. By jointly training on different aggregation levels, the model reduces over‑specialization and improves forecasting accuracy. A novel top‑down operator ensures coherent forecasts with linear time and space complexity, making the approach computationally efficient.

Learning Local Heterogeneity and Cross-Region Context for Large-Scale Traffic Forecasting

The paper introduces LoReST, a Local-Region Spatial Temporal network designed for large-scale traffic forecasting. LoReST captures local spatial heterogeneity by relation-aware aggregation within node neighborhoods and incorporates cross-region context through mean pooling, inter-region attention, and broadcasting back to nodes. Experiments on the LargeST benchmark demonstrate significant improvements, reducing MAE, RMSE, and MAPE by 4.78%, 3.60%, and 5.75% respectively.

Scene-Conditioned Relation Routing for urban cellular activity forecasting

The paper introduces SCRR-Net, a scene-conditioned spatial relation routing framework designed to forecast urban cellular activity by jointly modeling heterogeneous spatiotemporal signals such as SMS usage, mobile network traffic, and call activity. SCRR-Net integrates a context encoder, a spatial graph expert routing module, a temporal Transformer encoder, and a task knowledge routing module, allowing urban contextual information to control spatial dependency selection and cross-task knowledge transfer. Experiments on Milano and Trento datasets show that SCRR-Net consistently outperforms competing methods across all three forecasting tasks while offering interpretable routing behaviors.
