随着4G/5G网络的发展,运营商收集的手机数据现已包含高时空分辨率的服务级流量信息。本文利用此类数据探索其在生成城市区域高质量表征方面的潜力。提出一种从服务特定移动流量数据生成城市区域嵌入的方法,结合基于时序卷积网络的自编码器、Transformer和可学习加权求和模型,以捕捉关键城市特征。在真实世界数据集上进行的广泛实验表明,该方法生成的嵌入能有效反映城市特性。具体而言,在两个下游任务中,其表现优于当前先进基准方法。此外,通过聚类分析,我们进一步验证了所生成嵌入对城市区域时空动态特征的捕捉能力。本研究凸显了服务级移动流量数据在城市研究中的潜力,并强调开放此类数据对支持公共创新的重要性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the advent of advanced 4G/5G mobile networks, mobile phone data collected by operators now includes detailed, service-specific traffic information with high spatio-temporal resolution. In this paper, we leverage this type of data to explore its potential for generating high-quality representations of urban regions. To achieve this, we present a methodology for creating urban region embeddings from service-specific mobile traffic data, employing a temporal convolutional network-based autoencoder, transformers, and learnable weighted sum models to capture key urban features. In the extensive experimental evaluation conducted using a real-world dataset, we demonstrate that the embeddings generated by our methodology effectively capture urban characteristics. Specifically, our embeddings are compared against those of a state-of-the-art competitor across two downstream tasks. Additionally, through clustering techniques, we investigate how well the embeddings produced by our methodology capture the temporal dynamics and characteristics of the underlying urban regions. Overall, this work highlights the potential of service-specific mobile traffic data for urban research and emphasizes the importance of making such data accessible to support public innovation.
