提出首个稀疏多模态多专家框架,实现城市区域多任务精准画像
UrbanMoE: A Sparse Multi-Modal Mixture-of-Experts Framework for Multi-Task Urban Region Profiling
- 采用稀疏专家混合架构,动态分配多模态特征到专用子网络
- 在三个真实数据集上超越所有基线,实现多指标联合预测性能最优
- 构建首个标准化基准,助力城市分析领域可复现研究
城市区域画像旨在表征地理区域特征,对城市规划与资源分配至关重要。现有研究存在两大局限:一是多数方法仅支持单任务预测,难以捕捉城市多维度指标间的深层关联;二是缺乏统一实验基准,阻碍公平比较与可复现进展。为此,我们首先建立涵盖多模态特征的多任务城市区域画像基准,包含多样强基线以保障评估严谨性。同时,提出UrbanMoE——首个专为多任务设计的稀疏多模态专家混合框架。该框架通过稀疏专家混合机制,将多模态输入动态路由至特定子网络,实现多种城市指标的并行预测。我们在三个真实世界数据集上进行广泛实验,结果表明UrbanMoE持续优于所有基线。深入分析验证了方法的有效性与高效性,树立新基准,为城市分析研究提供有力工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Urban region profiling, the task of characterizing geographical areas, is crucial for urban planning and resource allocation. However, existing research in this domain faces two significant limitations. First, most methods are confined to single-task prediction, failing to capture the interconnected, multi-faceted nature of urban environments where numerous indicators are deeply correlated. Second, the field lacks a standardized experimental benchmark, which severely impedes fair comparison and reproducible progress. To address these challenges, we first establish a comprehensive benchmark for multi-task urban region profiling, featuring multi-modal features and a diverse set of strong baselines to ensure a fair and rigorous evaluation environment. Concurrently, we propose UrbanMoE, the first sparse multi-modal, multi-expert framework specifically architected to solve the multi-task challenge. Leveraging a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture, it dynamically routes multi-modal features to specialized sub-networks, enabling the simultaneous prediction of diverse urban indicators. We conduct extensive experiments on three real-world datasets within our benchmark, where UrbanMoE consistently demonstrates superior performance over all baselines. Further in-depth analysis validates the efficacy and efficiency of our approach, setting a new state-of-the-art and providing the community with a valuable tool for future research in urban analytics
