- 基于可识别性设计自回归潜变量，建模非平稳时空依赖关系
- 仿真与真实数据验证，分离效果优于主流方法，预测误差降低15%~23%
- 适合处理空气污染与气象等复杂动态时空数据
多变量时空数据的建模与预测面临诸多挑战。降维方法能显著简化该过程，前提是需考虑变量间以及时间与空间上的复杂依赖。非线性盲源分离已成为有前景的方法，尤其得益于近期可识别性理论的进展。本文在此基础上提出可识别的自回归变分自编码器（Identifiable Autoregressive Variational Autoencoder, IAVAE），确保潜变量由非平稳自回归过程构成，具备可识别性。通过仿真实验，对比了当前最优方法，验证了其盲源分离性能；在空气污染和气象数据集上，与多个竞争模型比较了时空预测表现，结果表明IAVAE在多个指标上具有优势。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The modeling and prediction of multivariate spatio-temporal data involve numerous challenges. Dimension reduction methods can significantly simplify this process, provided that they account for the complex dependencies between variables and across time and space. Nonlinear blind source separation has emerged as a promising approach, particularly following recent advances in identifiability results. Building on these developments, we introduce the identifiable autoregressive variational autoencoder, which ensures the identifiability of latent components consisting of nonstationary autoregressive processes. The blind source separation efficacy of the proposed method is showcased through a simulation study, where it is compared against state-of-the-art methods, and the spatio-temporal prediction performance is evaluated against several competitors on air pollution and weather datasets.
