• Abstract: Air pollution has become a significant health risk in developing countries. While governments routinely publish air-quality index (AQI) data to track pollution, these values fail to capture the local reality, as sensors are often very sparse. In this paper, we address this gap by predicting AQI in 1 km^2 neighborhoods, using the example of AirDelhi dataset. Using Spatio-temporal GNNs we surpass existing works by 71.654 MSE a 79% reduction, even on unseen coordinates. New insights about AQI such as the existence of strong repetitive short-term patterns and changing spatial relations are also discovered. The code is available on GitHub.

  We deal with air quality observations in a city-wide network of ground monitoring stations. We propose a conditioning block that embeds past and future covariates into the current observations. We find that conditioning on future weather information has a greater impact than considering past traffic conditions.

• Environmental Sensor Placement with Convolutional Gaussian Neural Processes [65.13973319334625]
  It is challenging to place sensors in a way that maximises the informativeness of their measurements, particularly in remote regions like Antarctica. Probabilistic machine learning models can suggest informative sensor placements by finding sites that maximally reduce prediction uncertainty. This paper proposes using a convolutional Gaussian neural process (ConvGNP) to address these issues.
