Modeling complex spatiotemporal dependencies in correlated traffic series is essential for prediction. While recent works have shown improved prediction performance by using neural networks to extract correlations, their effectiveness depends on the quality of graph structures used represent spatial topology network. In this work, we propose a novel approach that embeds time-varying dynamic Bayesian network capture fine data. We then use convolutional generate forecasts. To enable our method...
Reinforcement learning (RL) can automatically learn a better policy through trial-and-error paradigm and has been adopted to revolutionize optimize traditional traffic signal control systems that are usually based on handcrafted methods. However, most existing RL-based models either single scenario or multiple independent scenarios, where each separate simulation environment with predefined road network topology settings. These implement training testing in the same scenario, thus being...
Low-rank tensor decomposition and completion have attracted significant interest from academia given the ubiquity of data. However, low-rank structure is a global property, which will not be fulfilled when data presents complex weak dependencies specific graph structures.

Road network and trajectory representation learning are essential for traffic systems since the learned can be directly used in various downstream tasks (e.g., speed inference, travel time estimation). However, most existing methods only contrast within same scale, i.e., treating road separately, which ignores valuable inter-relations. In this paper, we aim to propose a unified framework that jointly learns representations end-to-end. We design domain-specific augmentations road-road...
The effectiveness of traffic light control has been significantly improved by current reinforcement learning-based approaches via better cooperation among multiple lights.

Effective multi-intersection collaboration is pivotal for reinforcement-learning-based traffic signal control to alleviate congestion. Existing work mainly chooses neighboring intersections as collaborators. However, quite a lot of congestion, even some wide-range caused by non-neighbors failing collaborate. To address these issues, we propose separate the collaborator selection second policy be learned, concurrently being updated with original signal-controlling policy. Specifically, in...
Spatiotemporal data are very common in many applications, such as manufacturing systems and transportation systems. Given the intrinsic complex spatial temporal correlations of data, short-term long-term prediction for spatiotemporal is often challenging. Most traditional statistical models fail to preserve innate features alongside their correlations. In this paper, we focus on a tensor-based method propose several practical techniques improve both accuracy. For prediction, "tensor...
Anomaly detection is an essential task for quality management in smart manufacturing. An accurate data-driven method usually needs enough data and labels. However, practice, there commonly exist newly set-up processes manufacturing, they only have quite limited available analysis. Borrowing the name from recommender system, we call this process a cold-start process. The sparsity of anomaly, deviation profile, noise aggravate difficulty. Transfer learning could help to detect anomalies by...

Some developed AI models fail offer a fair output for specific minority groups, sparking comprehensive discussions about fairness. We argue that the development of is marked by central paradox: less participation one stakeholder has within system’s life cycle, more influence they over way system will function. This...
