AdaST: Adaptive Coupling for Spatial-Temporal Forecasting
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.36119v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial-temporal (ST) forecasting underpins many real-world systems such as traffic, climate, and energy networks. While existing methods implicitly assume strong spatiotemporal coupling, we observe that real-world ST data exhibits distinct coupling regimes, ranging from temporal-dominated and spatial-dominated to strongly coupled patterns. This mismatch causes current models to suffer from spurious dependencies and degraded performance when one correlation dominates. To overcome this limitation, we aim to dynamically modulate spatial and tempora
