GRIT-LP: Graph Transformer with Long-Range Skip Connection and Partitioned Spatial Graphs for Accurate Ice Layer Thickness Prediction

  • 分块构建重叠局部图,保留空间连贯性并抑制远距离噪声
  • 引入长程跳跃连接,缓解深层注意力层的过平滑问题
  • 适合极地气候建模与冰盖演化研究者使用

图变压器在复杂时空任务中表现优异,但其深度常受过平滑和长程依赖建模不足限制。本文提出GRIT-LP,专为极地雷达图像中的冰层厚度估计设计。准确估算冰层厚度对理解积雪累积、重建古气候及降低未来冰盖演化与海平面上升预测不确定性至关重要。GRIT-LP结合归纳几何图学习框架与自注意力机制,提出两项创新:一是分块空间图构建策略,形成重叠且全连接的局部邻域,以保持空间一致性并抑制无关远距离连接带来的噪声;二是变压器内部的长程跳跃连接机制,增强信息流动,缓解深层注意力层的过平滑问题。大量实验表明,GRIT-LP相比当前最优方法在均方根误差上提升24.92%。结果验证了图变压器在捕捉冰层内部局部结构特征与长程依赖方面的有效性,展现了其推动冰冻圈数据驱动理解的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Graph transformers have demonstrated remarkable capability on complex spatio-temporal tasks, yet their depth is often limited by oversmoothing and weak long-range dependency modeling. To address these challenges, we introduce GRIT-LP, a graph transformer explicitly designed for polar ice-layer thickness estimation from polar radar imagery. Accurately estimating ice layer thickness is critical for understanding snow accumulation, reconstructing past climate patterns and reducing uncertainties in projections of future ice sheet evolution and sea level rise. GRIT-LP combines an inductive geometric graph learning framework with self-attention mechanism, and introduces two major innovations that jointly address challenges in modeling the spatio-temporal patterns of ice layers: a partitioned spatial graph construction strategy that forms overlapping, fully connected local neighborhoods to preserve spatial coherence and suppress noise from irrelevant long-range links, and a long-range skip connection mechanism within the transformer that improves information flow and mitigates oversmoothing in deeper attention layers. We conducted extensive experiments, demonstrating that GRIT-LP outperforms current state-of-the-art methods with a 24.92\% improvement in root mean squared error. These results highlight the effectiveness of graph transformers in modeling spatiotemporal patterns by capturing both localized structural features and long-range dependencies across internal ice layers, and demonstrate their potential to advance data-driven understanding of cryospheric processes.
