Efficient Traffic Forecasting on Large-Scale Road Network by Regularized Adaptive Graph Convolution

Traffic prediction is a critical task in spatial-temporal forecasting with broad applications in travel planning and urban management. To model the complex spatial-temporal dependencies in traffic data, Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (STGCNs) have been widely employed, achieving advanced performance. However, when applied to large-scale road networks, the quadratic computational complexity of traditional graph convolution operations severely limits their scalability. Several methods attempt to address this issue through approximation, compression, or spatial partitioning. Nevertheless, these methods often either fail to achieve sufficient computational efficiency or compromise prediction accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose a Regularized Adaptive Graph Convolution (RAGC) model. First, to ensure scalability on large road networks, we develop the Efficient Cosine Operator (ECO), which performs graph convolution based on the cosine similarity of node embeddings with linear time complexity. Second, we introduce a regularized adaptive graph convolution framework that combines Stochastic Shared Embedding (SSE) and adaptive graph convolution through a residual difference mechanism. This design enables the model to learn high-quality node embeddings, thereby improving prediction accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency. Extensive experiments on four large-scale real-world traffic datasets show that RAGC consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of prediction accuracy and exhibits competitive computational efficiency. The code is available at: https://github.com/wkq-wukaiqi/RAGC.

GraphSparseNet: a Novel Method for Large Scale Traffic Flow Prediction

Traffic flow forecasting is a critical spatio-temporal data mining task with wide-ranging applications in intelligent route planning and dynamic traffic management. Recent advancements in deep learning, particularly through Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), have significantly enhanced the accuracy of these forecasts by capturing complex spatio-temporal dynamics. However, the scalability of GNNs remains a challenge due to their exponential growth in model complexity with increasing nodes in the graph. Existing methods to address this issue, including sparsification, decomposition, and kernel-based approaches, either do not fully resolve the complexity issue or risk compromising predictive accuracy. This paper introduces GraphSparseNet (GSNet), a novel framework designed to improve both the scalability and accuracy of GNN-based traffic forecasting models. GraphSparseNet is comprised of two core modules: the Feature Extractor and the Relational Compressor. These modules operate with linear time and space complexity, thereby reducing the overall computational complexity of the model to a linear scale. Our extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that GraphSparseNet not only significantly reduces training time by 3.51x compared to state-of-the-art linear models but also maintains high predictive performance.

Diamond surfaces with lateral gradients for systematic optimization of surface chemistry for relaxometry -- A low pressure plasma-based approach

Diamond is increasingly popular because of its unique material properties. Diamond defects called nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers allow measurements with unprecedented sensitivity. However, to achieve ideal sensing performance NV centers need to be within nanometers from the surface and are thus strongly dependent on the local surface chemistry. Several attempts have been made to compare diamond surfaces. However, due to the high price of diamond crystals with shallow NV centers, a limited number of chemical modifications have been studied. Here, we developed a systematic method to investigate a continuity of different local environments with a varying density and nature of surface groups in a single experiment on a single diamond plate. To achieve this goal, we used diamonds with a shallow ensemble of NV centers and introduced a chemical gradient across the surface. More specifically we used air and hydrogen plasma. The gradients were formed by low pressure plasma treatment after masking with a right-angled triangular prism shield. As a result, the surface contained gradually more oxygen/hydrogen towards the open end of the shield. We then performed widefield relaxometry to determine the effect of surface chemistry on the sensing performance. As expected, relaxation times and thus sensing performance indeed varies along the gradient.

Structures and Properties of $β$-Titanium Doping Trace Transition Metal Elements: a Density Functional Theory Study

We systematically calculate the structure, formation enthalpy, formation free energy, elastic constants and electronic structure of Ti$_{0.98}$X$_{0.02}$ system by density functional theory (DFT) simulations to explore the effect of transition metal X (X=Ag, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, Pd, Rh, Ru, Tc, and Zn) on the stability mechanism of $β$-titanium. Based on our calculations, the results of formation enthalpy and free energy show that adding trace X is beneficial to the thermodynamic stability of $β$-titanium. This behavior is well explained by the density of state (DOS). However, the tetragonal shear moduli of Ti$_{0.98}$X$_{0.02}$ systems are negative, indicating that $β$-titanium doping with a low concentration of X is still elastically unstable at 0 K. Therefore, we theoretically explain that $β$-titanium doping with trace transition metal X is unstable in the ground state.
