The paper introduces RSTGCN, a Railway-centric Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network that predicts average arrival delays for all incoming trains at a specific station during a given time period. It incorporates train frequency-aware spatial attention and other architectural innovations to improve predictive accuracy. Experiments on a newly released dataset covering 4,735 Indian Railway stations show RSTGCN outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines by 18% in MAE, 14% in MAPE, and 1–8% in RMSE.

The paper presents a machine‑learning approach to predict train delays in Finland using the Finland Integrated Train‑Weather (FI‑TW) dataset, which merges railway operational records with data from about 200 nationwide weather sensors. Three feature sets were tested with XGBoost at Oulu central station: full weather features, instant observations only, and derived weather categories. The category‑based features—hierarchical classes such as Blizzard, Heavy Snow, and Extreme Cold—yielded the best performance, achieving an R² of 0.78, RMSE of 8.5 min, and MAE of 3.7 min, an 11 % R² improvement and 10 % error reduction over the other configurations.

The paper presents an empirical benchmark of nine modern deep‑learning models for time‑series forecasting of smart‑meter energy consumption, evaluated on two publicly available datasets. It examines how historical input length, prediction horizon, and model architecture affect accuracy, finding that longer historical context improves performance up to a saturation point and that accuracy declines with longer horizons. The study also compares computational complexity, showing that lightweight architectures achieve similar performance to heavier models, and notes that model choice has limited impact across most demographic and household subgroups.

The paper presents an empirical benchmark of nine deep learning models for smart meter energy forecasting, evaluating them on two public datasets. It examines how historical input length, prediction horizon, and model architecture affect accuracy, finding that longer historical context improves performance up to a saturation point while accuracy declines with longer horizons. The study also compares computational cost, showing lightweight models achieve similar accuracy to heavier ones, and notes that model choice matters less across most population segments.
