UME: A Unified Meta-Generalization Framework for Cross-Domain ETA

arXiv:2606.00979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) prediction on checkout page is crucial in instant logistics for enhancing user satisfaction, optimizing dispatching, and controlling operational costs. In international on-demand delivery platforms, where ETA data originates from diverse countries or regions with different patterns, multi-domain modeling is of great importance and has been widely adopted. However, existing methods still face three critical challenges in real-world deployment. First, current multi-domain models struggle to generalize to com

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing complexity and global scale of logistics, particularly in instant delivery platforms, necessitates more robust and adaptable AI solutions for ETA prediction.

Why it’s important

Improved cross-domain ETA prediction directly impacts operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and profitability for logistics and e-commerce companies operating across diverse geographic and cultural contexts.

What changes

This framework offers a unified approach to overcome generalization challenges in multi-domain ETA modeling, potentially leading to more accurate and reliable logistics operations globally.
