The paper presents a novel approach to learning complex spatiotemporal traffic data (STTD) by parameterizing it as an implicit neural representation. The proposed method, Spatiotemporal Implicit Neural Representation (SINR), uses coordinate-based neural networks to encode high-frequency structures and decompose variability into separate spatial-temporal processes. This allows for modeling in irregular spaces like sensor graphs using spectral embedding. SINR learns implicit low-rank priors and smoothness regularization from the data, making it versatile for learning different dominating data patterns. The approach is validated through extensive experiments in real-world scenarios, showcasing applications from corridor to network scales. Results demonstrate significant superiority over conventional low-rank models and highlight the versatility of the approach.

This paper introduces a new way to understand traffic patterns by using special computer models called neural networks. These models can learn complex patterns in traffic data, which helps us better predict what will happen in the future. The authors create a new type of model that can handle different types of traffic data and learn from it. They test their approach on real-world scenarios and show that it works better than existing methods. This could lead to improved traffic management systems and better planning for cities.
