ST-MetaNet: Urban Traffic Prediction from Spatio-Temporal Data Using Deep Meta Learning

Overview of ST-MetaNet

This is the MXNet implementation of ST-MetaNet in the following paper:


Requirements for Reproducibility

System Requirements:

  • System: Ubuntu 16.04
  • Language: Python 3.5.2
  • Devices: a single GTX 1080 GPU

Library Requirements:

  • scipy == 1.2.1
  • numpy == 1.16.3
  • pandas == 0.24.2
  • mxnet-cu90 == 1.5.0b20190108
  • dgl == 0.2
  • tables == 3.5.1
  • pymal
  • h5py

Dependency can be installed using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

After that, change the backend deep learning framework for dgl:

echo 'export DGLBACKEND=mxnet' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc

Data Preparation

Unzip the data files in:

  • flow-prediction/data.zip
  • traffic-prediction/data.zip (the data is pre-processed in repository DCRNN)

Description of Flow Data

The flow data is collected from 32x32 grids of Beijing city.

  • BJ_FEATURE.h5: the shape of data is (32, 32, 989), which indicates (row, colume, feature_id). This data represents the node feature for each grid. It consists of POI features and road features saved in BJ_POI.h5 and BJ_ROAD.h5, respectively.
  • BJ_FLOW.h5: the shape of data is (150, 24, 32, 32, 2), which indicates (date, hour, row, colume, flow_type). The flow_type represents inflow or outflow of the region.
  • BJ_GRAPH.h5: the shape is (1024, 1024, 32), which indicates (grid_1, grid_2, feature_id). This data represents the edge feature from grid_1 to grid_2.
  • BJ_POI.h5: POI features for each grid. This data is the intermediate output of preprocessing stage (not used in the model training & testing).
  • BJ_ROAD.h5: Road features for each grid. This data is the intermediate output of preprocessing stage (not used in the model training & testing). .

Description of Traffic Data

The description please refers to the repository of DCRNN.


Model Training & Testing

Given the flow prediction task as example (the traffic prediction task is exactly the same as the flow prediction task):

  1. cd flow-prediction/.
  2. The settings of the models are in the folder src/model_setting, saved as yaml format. Three models are provided: seq2seq, gat-seq2seq, and st-metanet. Other baselines refers to DCRNN and ST-ResNet, respectively.
  3. All trained model will be saved in param/. There are two types of files in this folder:
    1. model.yaml: the model training log (the result on evaluation dataset of each epoch). This file records the number of the best epoch for the model.
    2. model-xxxx.params: the saved model parameters of the best evaluation epoch, where xxxx is the epoch number.
  4. Running the codes:
    1. cd src/ .
    2. python train.py --file model_settting/[model_name].yaml --gpus [gpu_ids] --epochs [num_epoch]. The code will firstly load the best epoch from params/, and then train the models for [num_epoch]. Our code can be trained with multiple gpus. An example of [gpu_ids] is 0,1,2,3 if you have four gpus. But we recommend to use a single gpu to train & evaluate the model if possible (currently, our implementation using DGL library for meta graph attention is not efficient when using multiple gpus).
  5. Training from the begining:
    1. Remove the model records in param/, otherwise the code will train from the best pre-trained (saved) model.
    2. Train the model (example).
      1. Single gpu: python train.py --file model_setting/st-metanet.yaml --gpus 0 --epochs 200.
      2. Multiple gpu: python train.py --file model_setting/st-metanet.yaml --gpus 0,1 --epochs 200.
  6. Testing the model (example): python train.py --file model_setting/st-metanet.yaml --gpus 0 --epochs 0. The code will directly give evaluation results on evaluation dataset and test dataset, without training.
