ChronoSheaf: Joint Spatio-Temporal Spectral Filtering on Cellular Sheaves

ChronoSheaf introduces a joint spatio-temporal spectral filtering framework for cellular sheaves, extending sheaf neural networks beyond instantaneous spatial operators. It defines a spectral sheaf Laplacian that simultaneously governs signal propagation across both graph structure and time, and employs a Dual Spectral Filter to broaden receptive fields without enlarging the sheaf. The model incorporates Transitional Restriction Maps to allow asymmetric temporal influence and demonstrates superior performance on various spatio-temporal forecasting benchmarks.

Demystifying Oversmoothing in Sheaf Neural Networks: An Index-Theoretic Criterion

To combat oversmoothing in Graph Convolutional Networks, Sheaf Neural Networks (SNNs) were proposed as a generalization by equipping the graph with a sheaf structure and replacing the graph Laplacian with a sheaf Laplacian $\mathcal{L}$. Existing analyses connect sheaf diffusion to oversmoothing via the harmonic space ($\ker\mathcal{L}$), taking its absolute dimension as an indicator of anti-oversmoothing capacity.

More Sensors Only One Field: Rethinking Continual Spatio-Temporal Forecasting

The paper introduces STFO (Spatio-Temporal Field Operator), a method for continual spatio‑temporal forecasting that decouples forecasting representations from specific sensor layouts. By normalizing coordinate‑based aggregation onto a fixed latent grid and using a spectral descriptor to adapt to process drift, STFO can reuse learned spatial maps across varying sensor configurations. Experiments on PEMS‑Stream, CA‑Stream, and AIR‑Stream show that STFO‑Large improves average MAE by 8.4% over DOL on PEMS‑Stream and 4.7% on CA‑Stream.
