• Abstract: Spatiotemporal forecasting has emerged as an indispensable building block of diverse smart city applications, such as intelligent transportation and smart energy management. Recent advancements have uncovered that the performance of spatiotemporal forecasting can be significantly improved by integrating knowledge in geo-distributed time series data from different domains, \eg enhancing real-estate appraisal with human mobility data; joint taxi and bike demand predictions. While effective, existing approaches assume a centralized data collection and exploitation environment, overlooking the privacy and commercial interest concerns associated with data owned by different parties. In this paper, we investigate multi-party collaborative spatiotemporal forecasting without direct access to multi-source private data. However, this task is challenging due to 1) cross-domain feature heterogeneity and 2) cross-client geographical heterogeneity, where standard horizontal or vertical federated learning is inapplicable. To this end, we propose a Heterogeneous SpatioTemporal Federated Learning (HSTFL) framework to enable multiple clients to collaboratively harness geo-distributed time series data from different domains while preserving privacy. Specifically, we first devise vertical federated spatiotemporal representation learning to locally preserve spatiotemporal dependencies among individual participants and generate effective representations for heterogeneous data. Then we propose a cross-client virtual node alignment block to incorporate cross-client spatiotemporal dependencies via a multi-level knowledge fusion scheme. Extensive privacy analysis and experimental evaluations demonstrate that HSTFL not only effectively resists inference attacks but also provides a significant improvement against various baselines.

  We propose a methodology combining Federated Learning (FL) with Cross-view Image Geo-localization (CVGL) techniques. Our method implements a coarse-to-fine approach, where clients share only the coarse feature extractors while keeping fine-grained features specific to local environments. Results demonstrate that our federated CVGL method achieves performance close to centralized training while maintaining data privacy.

  Open data is frequently released spatially aggregated, usually to comply with privacy policies. But coarse, heterogeneous aggregations complicate coherent learning and integration for downstream AI/ML systems. We propose an overarching model named Structurally-Aware Recurrent Network (SARN), which integrates structurally-aware spatial attention layers into the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model. For scenarios with limited historical training data, we show that a model pre-trained on one city variable can be fine-tuned for another city variable using only a few hundred samples.
