arXiv:2606.13119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatio-Temporal forecasting is crucial in diverse fields, such as transportation, climate, and energy. Urban spatio-temporal data exhibits temporal mirage: similar short-window inputs have divergent future trends, and vice versa. Existing spatio-temporal graph neural networks (STGNNs) cannot effectively identify such mirages. We argue that the core reason lies in the short-window inputs that have incomplete period observation, heterogeneous global spatial correlation, and cross-period superposition causality. To bridge this gap, we develop a no
The continuous growth in demand for accurate spatio-temporal forecasting in critical sectors like transportation and climate necessitates more sophisticated AI models.
Improved spatio-temporal forecasting through multi-period pattern pre-training can lead to more efficient resource allocation, better infrastructure planning, and enhanced predictive capabilities in complex systems.
Existing spatio-temporal graph neural networks are being advanced to address complex temporal mirage effects, moving beyond short-window limitations.
