• Abstract: Several fields in science, from genomics to neuroimaging, require monitoring populations (measures) that evolve with time. These complex datasets, describing dynamics with both time and spatial components, pose new challenges for data analysis. We propose in this work a new framework to carry out averaging of these datasets, with the goal of synthesizing a representative template trajectory from multiple trajectories. We show that this requires addressing three sources of invariance: shifts in time, space, and total population size (or mass/amplitude). Here we draw inspiration from dynamic time warping (DTW), optimal transport (OT) theory and its unbalanced extension (UOT) to propose a criterion that can address all three issues. This proposal leverages a smooth formulation of DTW (Soft-DTW) that is shown to capture temporal shifts, and UOT to handle both variations in space and size. Our proposed loss can be used to define spatio-temporal barycenters as Fr\'echet means. Using Fenchel duality, we show how these barycenters can be computed efficiently, in parallel, via a novel variant of entropy-regularized debiased UOT. Experiments on handwritten letters and brain imaging data confirm our theoretical findings and illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed loss for spatio-temporal data.

  This paper proposes textitArrivalNet, a two-dimensional temporal variation-based multi-step ATP for buses and trams. It decomposes the one-dimensional temporal sequence into intra-periodic and inter-periodic variations, which can be recast into two-dimensional tensors. The transformed 2D blocks in different frequencies have an image-like feature representation that enables effective learning with computer vision backbones.

  We present a representation learning framework, Intensity Profile Projection, for continuous-time dynamic network data. The framework consists of three stages: estimating pairwise intensity functions, learning a projection which minimises a notion of intensity reconstruction error. Moreoever, we develop estimation theory providing tight control on the error of any estimated trajectory, indicating that the representations could even be used in quite noise-sensitive follow-on analyses.

Recent years have seen the additional development of a suite of nonlinear DR algorithms, frequently categorized as "manifold learning" Here, we show these three DR approaches can yield complementary information about ST manifold topology.
