Modeling Heterogeneous Relations across Multiple Modes for Potential Crowd Flow Prediction
Potential crowd flow prediction for new planned transportation sites is a
fundamental task for urban planners and administrators. Intuitively, the
potential crowd flow of the new coming site can be implied by exploring the
nearby sites. However, the transportation modes of nearby sites (e.g. bus
stations, bicycle stations) might be different from the target site (e.g.
subway station), which results in severe data scarcity issues. To this end, we
propose a data driven approach, named MOHER, to predict the potential crowd
flow in a certain mode for a new planned site. Specifically, we first identify
the neighbor regions of the target site by examining the geographical proximity
as well as the urban function similarity. Then, to aggregate these
heterogeneous relations, we devise a cross-mode relational GCN, a novel
relation-specific transformation model, which can learn not only the
correlations but also the differences between different transportation modes.
Afterward, we design an aggregator for inductive potential flow representation.
Finally, an LTSM module is used for sequential flow prediction. Extensive
experiments on real-world data sets demonstrate the superiority of the MOHER
framework compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms.Comment: Accepted by the 35th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI

Quadri-dimensional approach for data analytics in mobile networks
The telecommunication market is growing at a very fast pace with the evolution of new technologies to support high speed throughput and the availability of a wide range of services and applications in the mobile networks. This has led to a need for communication service providers (CSPs) to shift their focus from network elements monitoring towards services monitoring and subscribers’ satisfaction by introducing the service quality management (SQM) and the customer experience management (CEM) that require fast responses to reduce the time to find and solve network problems, to ensure efficiency and proactive maintenance, to improve the quality of service (QoS) and the quality of experience (QoE) of the subscribers. While both the SQM and the CEM demand multiple information from different interfaces, managing multiple data sources adds an extra layer of complexity with the collection of data.
While several studies and researches have been conducted for data analytics in mobile networks, most of them did not consider analytics based on the four dimensions involved in the mobile networks environment which are the subscriber, the handset, the service and the network element with multiple interface correlation.
The main objective of this research was to develop mobile network analytics models applied to the 3G packet-switched domain by analysing data from the radio network with the Iub interface and the core network with the Gn interface to provide a fast root cause analysis (RCA) approach considering the four dimensions involved in the mobile networks. This was achieved by using the latest computer engineering advancements which are Big Data platforms and data mining techniques through machine learning algorithms.Electrical and Mining EngineeringM.

SMAP: A Novel Heterogeneous Information Framework for Scenario-based Optimal Model Assignment
The increasing maturity of big data applications has led to a proliferation
of models targeting the same objectives within the same scenarios and datasets.
However, selecting the most suitable model that considers model's features
while taking specific requirements and constraints into account still poses a
significant challenge. Existing methods have focused on worker-task assignments
based on crowdsourcing, they neglect the scenario-dataset-model assignment
problem. To address this challenge, a new problem named the Scenario-based
Optimal Model Assignment (SOMA) problem is introduced and a novel framework
entitled Scenario and Model Associative percepts (SMAP) is developed. SMAP is a
heterogeneous information framework that can integrate various types of
information to intelligently select a suitable dataset and allocate the optimal
model for a specific scenario. To comprehensively evaluate models, a new score
function that utilizes multi-head attention mechanisms is proposed. Moreover, a
novel memory mechanism named the mnemonic center is developed to store the
matched heterogeneous information and prevent duplicate matching. Six popular
traffic scenarios are selected as study cases and extensive experiments are
conducted on a dataset to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of SMAP and
the score function
