• Abstract summary: Traffic forecasting is a critical task to extract values from cyber-physical infrastructures. In this paper, we first analyze real-world traffic data to show that each sensor has a unique dynamic. Next, we propose a novel module called Spatial Graph Transformers (SGT) to leverage the self-attention mechanism. Finally, we present Graph Self-attention WaveNet (G-SWaN) to address the complex, non-lineartemporal traffic dynamics.

• Abstract: Traffic forecasting is a critical task to extract values from cyber-physical infrastructures, which is the backbone of smart transportation. However owing to external contexts, the dynamics at each sensor are unique. For example, the afternoon peaks at sensors near schools are more likely to occur earlier than those near residential areas. In this paper, we first analyze real-world traffic data to show that each sensor has a unique dynamic. Further analysis also shows that each pair of sensors also has a unique dynamic. Then, we explore how node embedding learns the unique dynamics at every sensor location. Next, we propose a novel module called Spatial Graph Transformers (SGT) where we use node embedding to leverage the self-attention mechanism to ensure that the information flow between two sensors is adaptive with respect to the unique dynamic of each pair. Finally, we present Graph Self-attention WaveNet (G-SWaN) to address the complex, non-linear spatiotemporal traffic dynamics. Through empirical experiments on four real-world, open datasets, we show that the proposed method achieves superior performance on both traffic speed and flow forecasting.

• Point Cloud Forecasting as a Proxy for 4D Occupancy Forecasting [58.45661235893729]
  One promising self-supervised task is 3D point cloud forecasting from unannotated LiDAR sequences. We show that this task requires algorithms to implicitly capture (1) sensor extrinsics (i.e., the egomotion of the autonomous vehicle), (2) sensor intrinsics (i.e., the sampling pattern specific to the particular LiDAR sensor), and (3) the shape and motion of other objects in the scene. We render point cloud data from 4D occupancy predictions given sensor extrinsics and intrinsics, allowing one to train and test occupancy algorithms with unannotated LiDAR sequences.

  We propose a new dynamic modality-aware filter generation module (named MFGNet) to boost the message communication between visible and thermal data. We generate dynamic modality-aware filters with two independent networks. The visible and thermal filters will be used to conduct a dynamic convolutional operation on their corresponding input feature maps respectively. To address issues caused by heavy occlusion, fast motion, and out-of-view, we propose to conduct a joint local and global search by exploiting a new direction-aware target-driven attention mechanism.
