Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel deep learning model for enhanced city-level air quality prediction.
- To improve the extraction of spatiotemporal features from complex air pollution data.
- To accurately predict short-term series of PM2.5 concentrations.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a spatiotemporal adaptive attention graph convolution model.
- Encoded multiple spatiotemporal dependencies using station-level attention.
- Employed a Bi-level sharing strategy for efficient extraction of shared inter-station relationships.
- Utilized multiple decoders and a gating mechanism for multi-step predictions.
Main Results:
