Air Traffic Flow Prediction with Spatiotemporal Knowledge Distillation Network by Zhiqi Shen, Kaiquan Cai, Quan Fang, Xiaoyan Luo

“…Subsequently, to model the influence of external factors and predict air traffic flow disturbed by thunderstorm weather, we propose a student network based on the “parallel-fusion” structure. Finally, employing a feature-based knowledge distillation approach to integrate prior knowledge from flight plans and extract meteorological features, our method can accurately capture complex and constrained spatiotemporal dependencies in air traffic and explicitly model the impact of weather on air traffic flow. …”

STeInFormer: Spatial–Temporal Interaction Transformer Architecture for Remote Sensing Change Detection by Xiaowen Ma, Zhenkai Wu, Mengting Ma, Mengjiao Zhao, Fan Yang, Zhenhong Du, Wei Zhang

“…Existent RSCD methods often follow a paradigm of using a noninteractive Siamese neural network for multitemporal feature extraction and change detection heads for feature fusion and change representation. However, this paradigm lacks the contemplation of the characteristics of RSCD in temporal and spatial dimensions, and causes the drawback on spatial–temporal interaction that hinders high-quality feature extraction. …”
