The proposed Frequency Enhanced Pre-training Framework for Cross-city Few-shot Forecasting (FEPCross) tackles the challenge of developing cities collecting sufficient traffic data for accurate forecasting. FEPCross incorporates a novel Cross-Domain Spatial-Temporal Encoder that trains on self-supervised tasks, leveraging information from both time and frequency domains. The framework consists of pre-training and fine-tuning stages, with modules designed to enrich training samples and mitigate overfitting risk. Empirical evaluations on real-world traffic datasets demonstrate FEPCross’s exceptional efficacy, outperforming existing approaches.

Imagine trying to predict traffic patterns in a city without enough data. That’s what many developing cities face! Researchers came up with an idea called cross-city few-shot forecasting, where they use information from similar cities to help with the prediction. They found that by looking at the frequency of traffic patterns, they could make more accurate predictions. This new framework, FEPCross, uses a special type of computer model that looks at both time and frequency patterns to make these predictions. It also helps prevent the model from becoming too specialized in one city’s data. By testing it on real-world traffic data, they showed that FEPCross is much better than other methods!
