Social Networks Link Prediction Based on Incremental Learning by Jian SHU, Zhichen CHEN

“…In the prediction model, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) is utilized to construct the mutual perceptron, which predicts links by processing the embedding vectors of node pairs. The specific process of the node embedding model consists of temporal random walks, an incremental update strategy for random walk sequences, an incremental skip-gram model, and extracting the correlation of causal relationships. …”

GMTP: Enhanced Travel Time Prediction with Graph Attention Network and BERT Integration by Ting Liu, Yuan Liu

“…(1) Background: Existing Vehicle travel time prediction applications face challenges in modeling complex road network and handling irregular spatiotemporal traffic state propagation. (2) Methods: To address these issues, we propose a Graph Attention-based Multi-Spatiotemporal Features for Travel Time Prediction (GMTP) model, which integrates an enhanced graph attention network (GATv2) and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to analyze dynamic correlations across spatial and temporal dimensions. The pre-training process consists of two blocks: the Road Segment Interaction Pattern to Enhance GATv2, which generates road segment representation vectors, and a traffic congestion-aware trajectory encoder by incorporating a shared attention mechanism for high computational efficiency. …”
