  • 分两阶段建模:先预训练,再基于图结构扩散生成
  • 在四个大型路网数据集上实现最优拓扑保真度
  • 支持仅用自然语言输入,适合交通规划等实际场景

减少现实世界中的试错是决策制定的核心目标,生成式模拟器通过建模未来状态演化推进这一目标。更富挑战且有意义的任务是模拟扰动事件(如事故)如何在真实网络中传播影响。现有方法难以同时建模事件的结构属性与非结构语义,并在模拟中捕捉网络拓扑结构。为此,我们提出 Net-Ev²(Network Event Evolution),一种新型生成模拟器,联合利用事件线索并保持网络拓扑结构。该框架包含两个阶段:结构引导的掩码预训练和拓扑感知扩散过程,通过类似 U-Net 的图下采样与上采样实现去噪。推理时,Net-Ev² 仅需自然语言事件输入即可生成模拟,具备更强实用性。此外,我们构建了 Net-Ev²-6.5M 多模态基准数据集,涵盖四个大规模路网的对齐事件与网络流量数据,并提出新拓扑感知评估指标 JL-MMD 以衡量生成网络动态的拓扑保真度。大量实验表明,Net-Ev² 在性能与泛化能力上均达到当前最优水平。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reducing real-world trial and error has long been a central goal of decision making, and generative simulators advance this goal by modeling the evolution of future states. An even more challenging yet meaningful task is simulating how disturbance events (e.g., accidents) propagate their impacts across real-world networks. The existing approaches fall short of modeling both structured attributes and unstructured semantics of events, and capturing topological structures in simulating network event evolution. Therefore, we are motivated to propose Net-Ev$^2$ ($\underline{\textbf{Net}}$work $\underline{\textbf{Ev}}$ent $\underline{\textbf{Ev}}$olution), a novel generative simulator that jointly leverages event cues while preserving network topology in simulations. Specifically, the framework consists of two stages, namely structure-guided masked pre-training and topology-aware diffusion process, which is achieved by U-Net-like graph downsampling and upsampling during denoising. At inference time, Net-Ev$^2$ can generate simulations using natural-language event input only, with greater flexibility for practical usage. Furthermore, we introduce Net-Ev$^2$-6.5M, a multimodal benchmark of aligned event and network traffic data across four large-scale road networks, as well as a new topology-aware metric, namely JL-MMD, to evaluate topological fidelity in generated network dynamics. Extensive experiments demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance and strong generalization ability of Net-Ev$^2$. Code is made available at https://github.com/Guangyu4/Net-Ev-2.
