• Abstract: Modern tourism in the 21st century is facing numerous challenges. One of these challenges is the rapidly growing number of tourists in space limited regions such as historical city centers, museums or geographical bottlenecks like narrow valleys. In this context, a proper and accurate prediction of tourism volume and tourism flow within a certain area is important and critical for visitor management tasks such as visitor flow control and prevention of overcrowding. Static flow control methods like limiting access to hotspots or using conventional low level controllers could not solve the problem yet. In this paper, we empirically evaluate the performance of several state-of-the-art deep-learning methods in the field of visitor flow prediction with limited data by using available granular data supplied by a tourism region and comparing the results to ARIMA, a classical statistical method. Our results show that deep-learning models yield better predictions compared to the ARIMA method, while both featuring faster inference times and being able to incorporate additional input features.

  We present a novel Contrastive Self-learning framework for S-temporal data (CSST) Our approach initiates with the construction of a spatial adjacency graph founded on the Points of Interest (POIs) and their respective distances. We adopt a swapped prediction approach to anticipate the representation of the target subgraph from similar instances. Our experiments, conducted on two real-world datasets, demonstrate that the CSST pre-trained on extensive noisy data consistently outperforms models trained from scratch.

• Knowledge-driven Active Learning [70.37119719069499]
  Active learning strategies aim at minimizing the amount of labelled data required to train a Deep Learning model. Most active strategies are based on uncertain sample selection, and even often restricted to samples lying close to the decision boundary. Here we propose to take into consideration common domain-knowledge and enable non-expert users to train a model with fewer samples.

Our proposed method outputs realistic predictions by confining the residual range and taking into account its uncertainty.

• Value-driven Hindsight Modelling [68.658900923595]
  Value estimation is a critical component of the reinforcement learning (RL) paradigm. Model learning can make use of the rich transition structure present in sequences of observations, but this approach is usually not sensitive to the reward function. We develop an approach for representation learning in RL that sits in between these two extremes. This provides tractable prediction targets that are directly relevant for a task, and can thus accelerate learning the value function.
