• Abstract: Air pollution can be studied in the urban structure regulated by transport networks. Transport networks can be studied as geometric and topological graph characteristics through designed models. Current studies do not offer a comprehensive view as limited models with insufficient features are examined. Our study finds geometric patterns of pollution-indicated transport networks through 0.3 million image interpretations of global cities. These are then described as part of 12 indices to investigate the network-pollution correlation. Strategies such as improved connectivity, more balanced road types and the avoidance of extreme clustering coefficient are identified as beneficial for alleviated pollution. As a graph-only study, it informs superior urban planning by separating the impact of permanent infrastructure from that of derived development for a more focused and efficient effort toward pollution reduction.

• Spatiotemporal Graph Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network Model for Citywide Air Pollution Forecasting [0.0]
  Air pollution varies in a manner and depends on many complicated factors. An image-based representation may not be ideal as air pollution and other impact factors have natural graph structures. A Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) can efficiently represent the spatial features of air quality readings in the whole city. Our approach is superior to a hybrid GCN-based method in a real-world air pollution dataset.

  Cross-city knowledge has shown its promise, where the model learned from data-sufficient cities is leveraged to benefit the learning process of data-scarce cities. We propose a model-agnostic few-shot learning framework for S-temporal graph called ST-GFSL. We conduct comprehensive experiments on four traffic speed prediction benchmarks and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of ST-GFSL compared with state-of-the-art methods.

  This work establishes a graph learning scheme that automatically detects (locally) corrupted feature attributes.
