Machine learning for transportation data imputation and prediction.

transdim

Machine learning models make important developments about spatiotemporal data modeling - like how to forecast near-future traffic states of road networks. But what happens when these models are built with incomplete data commonly collected in real-world systems?

About the Project

In the transdim (transportation data imputation) project, we build machine learning models to help address some of the toughest challenges of spatiotemporal data modeling - from missing data imputation to time series prediction. The strategic aim of this project is creating accurate and efficient solutions for spatiotemporal traffic data imputation and prediction tasks.

In a hurry? Please check out our contents as follows.

Tasks and Challenges

Missing data are there, whether we like them or not. The really interesting question is how to deal with incomplete data.

• Missing data imputation 🔥

  • Random missing (RM): Each sensor lost their observations at completely random. (★★★)
  • Non-random missing (NM): Each sensor lost their observations during several days. (★★★★)

Example: Tensor completion framework for multi-dimensional missing traffic data imputation.

• Spatiotemporal prediction 🔥
  • Forecasting without missing values. (★★★)
  • Forecasting with incomplete observations. (★★★★★)

Example: An illustration of single-step rolling prediction task under a matrix factorization framework.

Implementation

Open data

In this repository, we have adapted the public data sets into our experiments. For example, to read the data set on your console, you may see the following code:

import scipy.io

tensor = scipy.io.loadmat('../datasets/Guangzhou-data-set/tensor.mat')
tensor = tensor['tensor']
random_matrix = scipy.io.loadmat('../datasets/Guangzhou-data-set/random_matrix.mat')
random_matrix = random_matrix['random_matrix']
random_tensor = scipy.io.loadmat('../datasets/Guangzhou-data-set/random_tensor.mat')
random_tensor = random_tensor['random_tensor']

If you want to view the original data, please check out the following links:

• Gdata: Guangzhou urban traffic speed data set.
• Bdata: Birmingham parking data set.
• Hdata: Hangzhou metro passenger flow data set.
• Ndata: NYC taxi data set.
• Sdata: Seattle freeway traffic speed data set.

Model implementation

In our experiments, we have implemented the machine learning models mainly on Numpy, and written these Python codes with Jupyter Notebook. So, if you want to evaluate these models, you could download and run these notebooks directly (prerequisite: download the data sets before evaluation).

Imputation/Prediction performance

• Imputation example

(a) Time series of actual and estimated speed within two weeks from August 1 to 14.

(b) Time series of actual and estimated speed within two weeks from September 12 to 25.

The imputation performance of BGCP (CP rank r=15 and missing rate α=30%) under the fiber missing scenario with third-order tensor representation, where the estimated result of road segment #1 is selected as an example. In the both two panels, red rectangles represent fiber missing (i.e., speed observations are lost in a whole day).
