The paper introduces a spatio‑temporal traffic forecasting framework that fuses Graph Neural Networks with semantic knowledge from general-purpose knowledge graphs such as Wikidata. By generating embeddings that capture relationships like nearby points of interest, administrative hierarchies, and functional roles of locations, the framework creates additional adjacency matrices that enrich the sensor graph beyond physical connectivity. Experiments with established forecasting methods demonstrate that this external knowledge improves prediction accuracy and offers a path toward better interpretability.

The paper introduces a spatio‑temporal traffic forecasting framework that fuses Graph Neural Networks with embeddings derived from a general‑purpose knowledge graph such as Wikidata. By creating semantic subgraphs around traffic sensors, the approach captures relationships like nearby points of interest, administrative hierarchies, and functional roles of locations, which are then integrated as additional adjacency matrices for the GNN. Experiments demonstrate that this external knowledge improves prediction accuracy beyond what street‑network data alone can achieve, while also offering a path toward better interpretability.

ResLearn-XR is a residual learning framework designed to predict extended reality (XR) network traffic and estimate Quality-of-Experience (QoE) risk. It uses a two‑stage temporal learning structure: a base sequence prediction model followed by task‑specific residual components that operate in value space for traffic forecasting and in logit space for probabilistic QoE risk estimation. The framework introduces a Data Descriptor Algorithm (DDA) to convert packet‑level observables into frame‑timing‑aware descriptors and is evaluated on a newly constructed XR Traffic‑QoE dataset, achieving significant reductions in SMAPE for both traffic prediction and QoE‑risk estimation compared to single‑stage baselines.
