Flow Prediction in Spatio-Temporal Networks Based on Multitask Deep Learning.

Predicting flows (e.g., the traffic of vehicles, crowds, and bikes), consisting of the in-out traffic at a node and transitions between different nodes, in a spatio-temporal network plays an important role in transportation systems. However, this is a very challenging problem, affected by multiple complex factors, such as the spatial correlation between different locations, temporal correlation am...
