针对城市数据稀疏问题,智能挑选有用历史数据进行精准预测。
STRATA-TS: Selective Knowledge Transfer for Urban Time Series Forecasting with Retrieval-Guided Reasoning
- 通过语义匹配检索相似城市时间序列作为参考
- 在三个城市数据集上显著优于主流预测模型
- 适合缺乏长期数据的城市交通预测场景
城市预测模型常面临数据不平衡问题:少数城市拥有密集、长期的历史记录,而大多数城市则仅有短时或不完整的数据。直接从数据丰富的城市迁移到数据稀疏城市不可靠,因为只有部分源模式真正有益于目标域,盲目迁移会引入噪声并导致负迁移。我们提出STRATA-TS(基于目标感知检索的时序选择性迁移),结合领域自适应检索与具备推理能力的大模型,提升数据稀缺环境下的预测性能。STRATA-TS采用基于片段的时间编码器,识别与目标查询在语义和动态上对齐的源子序列。这些检索到的范例被注入到检索引导的推理阶段,由大语言模型(LLM)对目标输入和检索支持进行结构化推理。为实现高效部署,我们通过监督微调将推理过程蒸馏为轻量级开放模型。在新加坡、诺丁汉和格拉斯哥三个停车可用性数据集上的大量实验表明,STRATA-TS持续优于强基线模型,同时提供可解释的知识迁移路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Urban forecasting models often face a severe data imbalance problem: only a few cities have dense, long-span records, while many others expose short or incomplete histories. Direct transfer from data-rich to data-scarce cities is unreliable because only a limited subset of source patterns truly benefits the target domain, whereas indiscriminate transfer risks introducing noise and negative transfer. We present STRATA-TS (Selective TRAnsfer via TArget-aware retrieval for Time Series), a framework that combines domain-adapted retrieval with reasoning-capable large models to improve forecasting in scarce data regimes. STRATA-TS employs a patch-based temporal encoder to identify source subsequences that are semantically and dynamically aligned with the target query. These retrieved exemplars are then injected into a retrieval-guided reasoning stage, where an LLM performs structured inference over target inputs and retrieved support. To enable efficient deployment, we distill the reasoning process into a compact open model via supervised fine-tuning. Extensive experiments on three parking availability datasets across Singapore, Nottingham, and Glasgow demonstrate that STRATA-TS consistently outperforms strong forecasting and transfer baselines, while providing interpretable knowledge transfer pathways.
