WISDOM: Weighted Incremental Spatio-Temporal Multi-Task Learning via Tensor Decomposition
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Big Data2016 This paper presents a novel multi-task learning framework for the accurate prediction of spatio-temporal data at multiple locations. The framework encodes the data as a third-order tensor and performs supervised tensor decomposition to identify the latent factors that capture the inherent spatiotemporal variabilities of the data and their relationship to the target variable of interest.
