DBGAN: A Data Balancing Generative Adversarial Network for Mobility Pattern Recognition.
DaWaK(2023)
Abstract
Mobility pattern recognition is a central aspect of transportation and data mining research. Despite the development of various machine learning techniques for this problem, most existing methods face challenges such as reliance on handcrafted features (e.g., user has to specify a feature such as “travel time”) or issues with data imbalance (e.g., fewer older travelers than commuters). In this paper, we introduce a novel Data Balancing Generative Adversarial Network (DBGAN), which is a specifically designed attention mechanism-based GAN model to address these challenges in mobility pattern recognition. DBGAN captures both static (e.g., travel locations) and dynamic (e.g., travel times) features of different passenger groups, and avoids using handcrafted features that may result in information loss, based on a sequence-to-image embedding method. Our model is then applied to overcome the data imbalance issue and perform mobility pattern recognition. We evaluate the proposed method on real-world public transportation smart card data from Suzhou, China, and focus on recognizing two different passenger groups: older people and students. The results of our experiments demonstrate that DBGAN is able to accurately identify the different passenger groups in the data, with the detected mobility patterns being consistent with the ground truth. These results highlight the effectiveness of DBGAN in overcoming data imbalance in mobility pattern recognition, and demonstrate its potential for wider use in transportation and data mining applications.
