• Abstract: Shared mobility services require accurate demand models for effective service planning. On one hand, modeling the full probability distribution of demand is advantageous, because the full uncertainty structure preserves valuable information for decision making. On the other hand, demand is often observed through usage of the service itself, so that the observations are censored, as they are inherently limited by available supply. Since the 1980s, various works on Censored Quantile Regression models have shown them to perform well under such conditions, and in the last two decades, several works have proposed to implement them flexibly through Neural Networks (CQRNN). However, apparently no works have yet applied CQRNN in the Transport domain. We address this gap by applying CQRNN to datasets from two shared mobility providers in the Copenhagen metropolitan area in Denmark, as well as common synthetic baseline datasets. The results show that CQRNN can estimate the intended distributions better than both censorship-unaware models and parametric censored models.

  Quantization-aware training can produce more stable models than standard, adversarial, and Mixup training. Disagreements often have closer top-1 and top-2 output probabilities, and $Margin$ is a better indicator than the other uncertainty metrics to distinguish disagreements. We opensource our code and models as a new benchmark for further studying the quantized models.

The proposed methodology extracts a set of models from micro- kernel and multi-layer benchmarks and generates a stacked model for mapping and network execution time estimation. We compare estimation accuracy and fidelity of the generated mixed models, statistical models with the roofline model, and a refined roofline model for evaluation.

• Estimating Latent Demand of Shared Mobility through Censored Gaussian Processes [11.695095006311176]
  Transport demand is highly dependent on supply, especially for shared transport services where availability is often limited. As observed demand cannot be higher than available supply, historical transport data typically represents a biased, or censored, version of the true underlying demand pattern. We propose a general method for censorship-aware demand modeling, for which we devise a censored likelihood function.
