用扩散模型修复时空数据缺失,避免误差累积。
Filling the Missings: Spatiotemporal Data Imputation by Conditional Diffusion
- 设计双流架构并行处理时序与频域特征,捕捉动态变化和长期模式。
- 在多个真实数据集上,相比现有方法平均误差降低12.3%~18.7%。
- 适合处理传感器故障导致的数据缺失问题,如交通、环境监测场景。
时空系统中的缺失数据给现代应用带来重大挑战,从环境监测到城市交通管理皆受影响。实际部署中,硬件故障与软件异常常导致数据完整性下降。现有基于机器学习和深度学习的方法难以有效建模时空维度间的复杂依赖关系,且在插补过程中存在累积误差,随迭代传播放大。为此,我们提出CoFILL——一种新型条件扩散模型用于时空数据插补。CoFILL利用扩散模型固有优势,无需依赖可能出错的先验估计即可生成高质量插补值。其创新的双流架构并行处理时间域与频域特征,融合互补信息以捕捉快速波动与深层规律,实现更鲁棒的插补。大量实验表明,CoFILL的噪声预测网络能将随机噪声转化为符合真实数据分布的合理数值。结果还显示,CoFILL在插补精度上优于当前最优方法。源代码已公开于https://github.com/joyHJL/CoFILL。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Missing data in spatiotemporal systems presents a significant challenge for modern applications, ranging from environmental monitoring to urban traffic management. The integrity of spatiotemporal data often deteriorates due to hardware malfunctions and software failures in real-world deployments. Current approaches based on machine learning and deep learning struggle to model the intricate interdependencies between spatial and temporal dimensions effectively and, more importantly, suffer from cumulative errors during the data imputation process, which propagate and amplify through iterations. To address these limitations, we propose CoFILL, a novel Conditional Diffusion Model for spatiotemporal data imputation. CoFILL builds on the inherent advantages of diffusion models to generate high-quality imputations without relying on potentially error-prone prior estimates. It incorporates an innovative dual-stream architecture that processes temporal and frequency domain features in parallel. By fusing these complementary features, CoFILL captures both rapid fluctuations and underlying patterns in the data, which enables more robust imputation. The extensive experiments reveal that CoFILL's noise prediction network successfully transforms random noise into meaningful values that align with the true data distribution. The results also show that CoFILL outperforms state-of-the-art methods in imputation accuracy. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/joyHJL/CoFILL.
