时空点过程(STPPs)为连续时空中异步事件建模提供了严谨框架。近期基于扩散的方法通过建模复杂条件分布,提供了对确定性预测的灵活替代,但其在STPP中的应用仍面临挑战:从纯噪声反向采样代价高,且稀疏空间域中弱结构约束易导致概率质量分布不集中。本文提出GLIDE(Graph-guided Leap Inference for Diffusion Estimation),一种用于STPP下一事件建模的条件扩散框架。GLIDE将历史事件组织为多尺度历史图,通过双流架构编码时间演化与空间拓扑,生成结构化条件上下文以驱动双分支去噪器。进一步引入先验引导的跳跃反向采样机制,由轻量级均值预测器提供确定性锚点,反向过程从中间扩散步骤而非纯高斯噪声开始。多个真实数据集实验表明,GLIDE在分布拟合与下一事件预测上均有提升,空间侧增益最为显著;结果还显示,该机制显著降低了反向采样开销,同时保持了扩散模型的随机生成能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Spatio-temporal point processes (STPPs) provide a principled framework for modeling asynchronous events in continuous time and space. Recent diffusion-based approaches offer a flexible alternative to deterministic prediction by modeling complex conditional distributions, but their application to STPPs remains challenging: reverse sampling from pure noise is costly, and weak structural constraints in sparse spatial domains can lead to poorly localized probability mass. We propose \textbf{GLIDE} (Graph-guided Leap Inference for Diffusion Estimation), a conditional diffusion framework for next-event modeling in STPPs. GLIDE organizes historical events into a multi-scale historical graph and encodes temporal evolution and spatial topology through a dual-stream architecture, yielding a structured conditioning context for a dual-branch diffusion denoiser. It further introduces a prior-guided leap inference mechanism, in which a lightweight mean predictor provides a deterministic anchor and the reverse process starts from an intermediate diffusion step instead of from pure Gaussian noise. Experiments on multiple real-world datasets show that GLIDE improves both distribution fitting and next-event prediction, with the largest gains appearing on the spatial side. The results also indicate that prior-guided leap inference substantially reduces reverse-sampling cost while preserving the stochastic generation capability of diffusion models.
