2025 Towards Online Spatio-Temporal Prediction: A Knowledge Distillation Driven Continual Learning Approach
abstract
Spatio-temporal data prediction is a fundamental task in urban computing, benefiting a variety of real-life applications such as traffic forecasting and environmental monitoring. Due to the dynamic and time-involving nature of spatio-temporal data, researchers have increasingly emphasized online prediction. However, existing approaches (e.g., URCL) typically rely on data-replay strategies, which require storing large volumes of historical data to frequently update their models with new inputs. These methods impose substantial costs, including frequent buffer construction, high storage requirements, and increased training complexity. Furthermore, the single-pass nature of online data, combined with the constrained resources of online environments, highlights the urgent need for more efficient and lightweight solutions for online spatio-temporal prediction. To address these challenges, we propose Storm, a knowledge distillation driven continual learning framework. Storm introduces Dynamic Knowledge Distillation (DKD), leveraging an ever-evolving teacher model to train an effective student model. To optimize efficiency, Storm employs a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) mechanism, which dynamically switches between the original training mode and the DKD mode. This hybrid design enables low-cost online learning while addressing the stabilityplasticity dilemma. To fully leverage single-pass online data, Storm integrates effective data augmentation methods tailored to the dynamic nature of spatio-temporal data. Moreover, Storm incorporates a Gradual Parameter Freezing (GPF) module to progressively reduce computational costs during online training. Extensive experiments conducted on four real-world datasets, evaluated across short-term, medium-term, and long-term prediction horizons, demonstrate the superiority of Storm. Specifically, Storm: (i) provides a general online training extension for various offline spatio-temporal models, and (ii) achieves remarkable improvements, e.g., up to 14.24% accuracy gains while requiring only 0.3% of the training and inference time compared to the state-of-the-art URCL framework.

2020 Heterogeneous Mini-Graph Neural Network and Its Application to Fraud Invitation Detection
abstract
Effectively detecting the fraudulent invitations is valuable for many online Internet enterprises such as iQIYI to promote good products and improve the user experience. However, it remains highly non-trivial to address, which mainly lies in two challenging data characteristics. First, the invitation graph structure is globally large yet locally small, as a large number of invitations usually occur in a very small local graph, making the global and local consistency difficult to achieve simultaneously. Secondly, the user associations are heterogeneous and diverse, as the user associations are from multiple different data resources, making the effects of multiple user associations difficult to use effectively. To this end, this paper proposes a novel heterogeneous graph neural network HmGnn, to detect fraudulent invitations at iQIYI platform. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to study fraud invitation detection via graph neural networks. HmGnn handles the homogeneity and heterogeneity of networks simultaneously. Specifically, the proposal constructively introduces links between homogenous mini-graphs based on the similarity of mini-graphs, facilitating the impact of local mini-graphs to the global graph structure. In addition, this paper presents a heterogeneous attention convolution network to accurately optimize the contribution of multiple heterogeneous user associations. Extensive experiments conducted on real-world business data validate the excellent effectiveness and improvement on risk management of our method.
