Adaptive Graph Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks for System-Level Mobile Traffic Forecasting

Accurate traffic pattern prediction in largescale networks is of great importance for intelligent system management and automatic resource allocation.System-level mobile traffic forecasting has significant challenges due to the tremendous temporal and spatial dynamics introduced by diverse Internet user behaviors and frequent traffic migration.Spatialtemporal graph modeling is an efficient approach for analyzing the spatial relations and temporal trends of mobile traffic in a large system.Previous research may not reflect the optimal dependency by ignoring inter-base station dependency or pre-determining the explicit geological distance as the interrelationship of base stations.To overcome the limitations of graph structure,this study proposes an adaptive graph convolutional network(AGCN)that captures the latent spatial dependency by developing self-adaptive dependency matrices and acquires temporal dependency using recurrent neural networks.Evaluated on two mobile network datasets,the experimental results demonstrate that this method outperforms other baselines and reduces the mean absolute error by 3.7%and 5.6%compared to time-series based approaches.

Fast Image Segmentation Algorithm Based on Salient Features Model and Spatial-frequency Domain Adaptive Kernel

A fast image segmentation algorithm based on salient features model and spatial-frequency domain adaptive kernel is proposed to solve the accurate discriminate objects problem of online visual detection in such scenes of variable sample morphological characteristics,low contrast and complex background texture.Firstly,by analyzing the spectral component distribution and spatial contour feature of the image,a salient feature model is established in spatial-frequency domain.Then,the salient object detection method based on Gaussian band-pass filter and the design criterion of adaptive convolution kernel are proposed to extract the salient contour feature of the target in spatial and frequency domain.Finally,the selection and growth rules of seed points are improved by integrating the gray level and contour features of the target,and the target is segmented by seeded region growing.Experiments have been performed on Berkeley Segmentation Data Set,as well as sample images of online detection,to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.The experimental results show that the Jaccard Similarity Coefficient of the segmentation is more than 90%,which indicates that the proposed algorithm can availably extract the target feature information,suppress the background texture and resist noise interference.Besides,the Hausdorff Distance of the segmentation is less than 10,which infers that the proposed algorithm obtains a high evaluation on the target contour preservation.The experimental results also show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the operation efficiency while obtaining comparable segmentation performance over other algorithms.

An adaptive LIC based geographic flow field visualization method by means of rotation distance

Geographic visualization is essential for explaining and describing spatiotemporal geographical processes in flow fields.However,due to multi-scale structures and irregular spatial distribution of vortices in complex geographic flow fields,existing two-dimensional visualization methods are susceptible to the effects of data accuracy and sampling resolution,resulting in incomplete and inaccurate vortex information.To address this,we propose an adaptive Line Integral Convolution(LIC)based geographic flow field visualization method by means of rotation distance.Our novel framework of rotation distance and its quantification allows for the effective identification and extraction of vortex features in flow fields effectively.We then improve the LIC algorithm using rotation distance by constructing high-frequency noise from it as input to the convolution,with the integration step size adjusted.This approach allows us to effectively distinguish between vortex and non-vortex fields and adaptively represent the details of vortex features in complex geographic flow fields.Our experimental results show that the proposed method leads to more accurate and effective visualization of the geographic flow fields.
