Spatiotemporal Forecasting
Spatiotemporal forecasting aims to predict future values of data exhibiting both spatial and temporal dependencies, crucial for applications like weather prediction, traffic management, and energy forecasting. Current research emphasizes improving model efficiency and accuracy using deep learning architectures such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Transformers, and recurrent networks (RNNs), often incorporating techniques like attention mechanisms, vector quantization, and knowledge distillation to handle high-dimensional data and complex relationships. These advancements are driving improvements in prediction accuracy and enabling the integration of diverse data sources, including numerical and visual data, leading to more reliable and informative forecasts across various domains. The resulting improvements have significant implications for resource management, risk mitigation, and decision-making in numerous sectors.
