Smart City Development with Urban Transfer Learning
Nowadays, the smart city development levels of different cities are still
unbalanced. For a large number of cities which just started development, the
governments will face a critical cold-start problem: 'how to develop a new
smart city service with limited data?'. To address this problem, transfer
learning can be leveraged to accelerate the smart city development, which we
term the urban transfer learning paradigm. This article investigates the common
process of urban transfer learning, aiming to provide city planners and
relevant practitioners with guidelines on how to apply this novel learning
paradigm. Our guidelines include common transfer strategies to take, general
steps to follow, and case studies in public safety, transportation management,
etc. We also summarize a few research opportunities and expect this article can
attract more researchers to study urban transfer learning
