用旋转编码统一处理时空向量检索,提升效率与灵活性。

SpatCode: Rotary-based Unified Encoding Framework for Efficient Spatiotemporal Vector Retrieval

  • 用旋转位置向量统一编码时空信息,保持语义一致性。
  • 支持滑动窗口增量更新,无需全局重编码或重建索引。
  • 自适应加权检索,兼顾多模态融合与个性化需求。

时空向量检索已成为现代信息检索的关键范式,能够高效访问随时间和空间演化的海量异构数据。然而,现有方法多基于传统向量搜索系统扩展,依赖外部过滤器或专用索引实现时空约束,导致效率低下、架构复杂且难以应对异构模态。为此,我们提出一种统一的时空向量检索框架,将时间、空间与语义线索融入一致的相似性空间,同时保持可扩展性与对连续数据流的适应性。具体包括:(1)基于旋转的统一编码方法,将时间与位置嵌入旋转位置向量,实现一致的时空表征;(2)环形增量更新机制,支持高效滑动窗口更新,无需全局重编码或索引重构;(3)基于兴趣加权的检索算法,自适应调节模态权重,实现上下文感知与个性化检索。在多个真实数据集上的实验表明,该框架在检索准确率与效率上显著优于当前最优基线,在动态数据演化下仍具鲁棒性。结果验证了该方法在智能系统中可扩展时空信息检索的有效性与实用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Spatiotemporal vector retrieval has emerged as a critical paradigm in modern information retrieval, enabling efficient access to massive, heterogeneous data that evolve over both time and space. However, existing spatiotemporal retrieval methods are often extensions of conventional vector search systems that rely on external filters or specialized indices to incorporate temporal and spatial constraints, leading to inefficiency, architectural complexity, and limited flexibility in handling heterogeneous modalities. To overcome these challenges, we present a unified spatiotemporal vector retrieval framework that integrates temporal, spatial, and semantic cues within a coherent similarity space while maintaining scalability and adaptability to continuous data streams. Specifically, we propose (1) a Rotary-based Unified Encoding Method that embeds time and location into rotational position vectors for consistent spatiotemporal representation; (2) a Circular Incremental Update Mechanism that supports efficient sliding-window updates without global re-encoding or index reconstruction; and (3) a Weighted Interest-based Retrieval Algorithm that adaptively balances modality weights for context-aware and personalized retrieval. Extensive experiments across multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that our framework substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both retrieval accuracy and efficiency, while maintaining robustness under dynamic data evolution. These results highlight the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed approach for scalable spatiotemporal information retrieval in intelligent systems.
