Abstract:

Accurate forecasting of traffic flow plays a crucial role in building smart cities in the new era. Previous work has achieved success in learning inherent spatial and temporal patterns of traffic flow. However, existing works investigated the multiple periodicities (e.g., hourly, daily, and weekly) of traffic via entanglement learning, which has not yet dealt with distribution shift and interaction shift problems in traffic flow. In this paper, we propose a novel disentanglement learning network, called MUSE-Net, to tackle the limitations of entanglement learning by simultaneously factorizing the exclusiveness and interaction of multi-periodic patterns in traffic flow. Grounded in the theory of mutual information, we first learn and dis-entangle exclusive and interactive representations of traffics from multi-periodic patterns. Then, we utilize semantic-pushing and semantic-pulling regularizations to encourage the learned representations to be independent and informative. Moreover, we derive a lower bound estimator to tractably optimize the disentanglement problem with multiple variables and propose a joint training model for traffic forecasting. Extensive experimental results on several real-world traffic datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The code is available at: https://github.com/JianyangQin/MUSE-Net.
