Multi-Task Anti-Causal Learning for Reconstructing Urban Events from Residents' Reports

The paper introduces Multi-Task Anti-Causal learning (MTAC), a framework that estimates latent causes from observed effects by exploiting both task-invariant and task-specific structural dependencies. MTAC constructs a structural equation model that separates a shared backbone mechanism from task-specific deviations, then uses maximum a posteriori inference to reconstruct causes. Applied to urban event reconstruction—parking violations, abandoned properties, and unsanitary conditions—MTAC outperforms strong baselines on real data from Manhattan and Newark, achieving up to a 33.04% reduction in mean absolute error.

EventVL: Understand Event Streams via Multimodal Large Language Model

EventVL introduces the first generative event-based multimodal large language model (MLLM) designed for explicit semantic understanding of event streams. The framework leverages a newly annotated dataset of nearly 1.4 million event–image/video–text pairs and incorporates an Event Spatiotemporal Representation to capture comprehensive event information, along with Dynamic Semantic Alignment to refine sparse semantic spaces. Experiments demonstrate that EventVL outperforms existing MLLM baselines in event captioning and scene description generation tasks, advancing the field of event vision.

Fine-tuning LLMs for Tourist Trajectory Prediction using Field Experiment Data

The paper demonstrates that fine‑tuning large language models (LLMs) on local tourist trajectory data can predict visitor movements under varying conditions. Using 566 trajectories from Wakayama Castle Park, Japan, the authors fine‑tuned Llama‑3.1‑8B, achieving 49.1% accuracy for next point‑of‑interest predictions and maintaining strong performance even on undersampled scenarios such as rainy days. This shows that LLMs can serve as high‑fidelity, context‑aware behavior models for tourist prediction and enable counterfactual analysis of mobility interventions.
