A Nonlinear Spatiotemporal Optimization Method of Hypergraph Convolution Networks for Traffic Prediction

Traffic prediction is a necessary function in intelligent transporta-tion systems to alleviate traffic congestion.Graph learning methods mainly focus on the spatiotemporal dimension,but ignore the nonlinear movement of traffic prediction and the high-order relationships among various kinds of road segments.There exist two issues:1)deep integration of the spatiotempo-ral information and 2)global spatial dependencies for structural properties.To address these issues,we propose a nonlinear spatiotemporal optimization method,which introduces hypergraph convolution networks(HGCN).The method utilizes the higher-order spatial features of the road network captured by HGCN,and dynamically integrates them with the historical data to weigh the influence of spatiotemporal dependencies.On this basis,an extended Kalman filter is used to improve the accuracy of traffic prediction.In this study,a set of experiments were conducted on the real-world dataset in Chengdu,China.The result showed that the proposed method is feasible and accurate by two different time steps.Especially at the 15-minute time step,compared with the second-best method,the proposed method achieved 3.0%,11.7%,and 9.0%improvements in RMSE,MAE,and MAPE,respectively.

Ensemble Based Learning with Accurate Motion Contrast Detection

Recent developments in computer vision applications have enabled detection of significant visual objects in video streams.Studies quoted in literature have detected objects from video streams using Spatiotemporal Particle Swarm Optimization(SPSOM)and Incremental Deep Convolution Neural Networks(IDCNN)for detecting multiple objects.However,the study considered opticalflows resulting in assessing motion contrasts.Existing methods have issue with accuracy and error rates in motion contrast detection.Hence,the overall object detection performance is reduced significantly.Thus,consideration of object motions in videos efficiently is a critical issue to be solved.To overcome the above mentioned problems,this research work proposes a method involving ensemble approaches to and detect objects efficiently from video streams.This work uses a system modeled on swarm optimization and ensemble learning called Spatiotemporal Glowworm Swarm Optimization Model(SGSOM)for detecting multiple significant objects.A steady quality in motion contrasts is maintained in this work by using Chebyshev distance matrix.The proposed system achieves global optimization in its multiple object detection by exploiting spatial/temporal cues and local constraints.Its experimental results show that the proposed system scores 4.8%in Mean Absolute Error(MAE)while achieving 86%in accuracy,81.5%in precision,85%in recall and 81.6%in F-measure and thus proving its utility in detecting multiple objects.

Network SpaceTime AI:Concepts,Methods and Applications

SpacetimeAI and GeoAI are currently hot topics,applying the latest algorithms in computer science,such as deep learning,to spatiotemporal data.Although deep learning algorithms have been successfully applied to raster data due to their natural applicability to image processing,their applications in other spatial and space-time data types are still immature.This paper sets up the proposition of using a network(&graph)-based framework as a generic spatial structure to present space-time processes that are usually represented by the points,polylines,and polygons.We illustrate network and graph-based SpaceTimeAI,from graph-based deep learning for prediction,to space-time clustering and optimisation.These applications demonstrate the advantages of network(graph)-based SpacetimeAI in the fields of transport&mobility,crime&policing,and public health.
