用协作噪声先验生成更真实的城市移动轨迹,保护隐私同时提升数据质量。

Noise Matters: Diffusion Model-based Urban Mobility Generation with Collaborative Noise Priors

  • 设计协作噪声先验,融合个体与群体移动特征
  • 生成轨迹在个体与集体模式上准确率提升超32%
  • 适合隐私敏感的城市规划与可持续研究

随着全球城市化发展,可持续城市研究日益关注公平性、韧性与城市规划,常依赖移动数据。尽管网络应用和移动设备提供了大量用户数据,真实移动数据成本高且涉及隐私问题。为在保护隐私的同时保留关键移动特征,合成数据需求持续上升。扩散模型因能建模随机性和不确定性,在轨迹生成中展现巨大潜力。然而,现有方法直接沿用图像生成中的独立同分布噪声采样,未能捕捉城市移动的时空相关性与社会互动。本文提出CoDiffMob,一种基于协作噪声先验的城市移动生成扩散模型,强调噪声在生成过程中的关键作用。通过结合个体移动特征与群体动态,构建新型协作噪声先验,为生成提供更丰富引导。实验表明,该方法在个体偏好与集体模式捕捉上显著优于基线,性能提升超过32%。生成数据可有效替代网络获取的移动数据,支持下游应用,同时保障用户隐私,推动更安全、伦理的城市研究。代码与数据已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With global urbanization, the focus on sustainable cities has largely grown, driving research into equity, resilience, and urban planning, which often relies on mobility data. The rise of web-based apps and mobile devices has provided valuable user data for mobility-related research. However, real-world mobility data is costly and raises privacy concerns. To protect privacy while retaining key features of real-world movement, the demand for synthetic data has steadily increased. Recent advances in diffusion models have shown great potential for mobility trajectory generation due to their ability to model randomness and uncertainty. However, existing approaches often directly apply identically distributed (i.i.d.) noise sampling from image generation techniques, which fail to account for the spatiotemporal correlations and social interactions that shape urban mobility patterns. In this paper, we propose CoDiffMob, a diffusion model for urban mobility generation with collaborative noise priors, we emphasize the critical role of noise in diffusion models for generating mobility data. By leveraging both individual movement characteristics and population-wide dynamics, we construct novel collaborative noise priors that provide richer and more informative guidance throughout the generation process. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method, with generated data accurately capturing both individual preferences and collective patterns, achieving an improvement of over 32%. Furthermore, it can effectively replace web-derived mobility data to better support downstream applications, while safeguarding user privacy and fostering a more secure and ethical web. This highlights its tremendous potential for applications in sustainable city-related research. The code and data are available at https://github.com/tsinghua-fib-lab/CoDiffMob.
