| 2026 | An LLM-Powered Cooperative Framework for Large-Scale Multi-Vehicle NavigationabstractThe rise of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technologies is transforming traffic management from isolated control to a collective, multi-vehicle process. At the heart of this shift is multi-vehicle dynamic navigation, which requires simultaneously routing large fleets under evolving traffic conditions. Existing path search algorithms and reinforcement learning methods struggle to scale to city-wide networks, often failing to capture the nonlinear, stochastic, and coupled dynamics of urban traffic. To address these challenges, we propose CityNav, a hierarchical, LLM-powered framework for large-scale multi-vehicle navigation. CityNav integrates a global traffic allocation agent, which coordinates strategic traffic flow distribution across regions, with local navigation agents that generate locally adaptive routes aligned with global directives. To enable effective cooperation, we introduce a cooperative reasoning optimization mechanism, in which agents are jointly trained with a dual-reward structure: individual rewards promote per-vehicle efficiency, while shared rewards encourage network-wide coordination and congestion reduction. Extensive experiments on four real-world road networks of varying scales (up to 1.6 million roads and 430,000 intersections) and traffic datasets demonstrate that CityNav consistently outperforms nine classical path search and RL-based baselines in city-scale travel efficiency and congestion mitigation. Our results highlight the potential of LLMs to enable scalable, adaptive, and cooperative city-wide traffic navigation, providing a foundation for intelligent, large-scale vehicle routing in complex urban environments.

| 2023 | A Preference-aware Meta-optimization Framework for Personalized Vehicle Energy Consumption EstimationabstractVehicle Energy Consumption (VEC) estimation aims to predict the total energy required for a given trip before it starts, which is of great importance to trip planning and transportation sustainability. Existing approaches mainly focus on extracting statistically significant factors from typical trips to improve the VEC estimation. However, the energy consumption of each vehicle may diverge widely due to the personalized driving behavior under varying travel contexts. To this end, this paper proposes a preference-aware meta-optimization framework Meta-Pec for personalized vehicle energy consumption estimation. Specifically, we first propose a spatiotemporal behavior learning module to capture the latent driver preference hidden in historical trips. Moreover, based on the memorization of driver preference, we devise a selection-based driving behavior prediction module to infer driver-specific driving patterns on a given route, which provides additional basis and supervision signals for VEC estimation. Besides, a driver-specific meta-optimization scheme is proposed to enable fast model adaption by learning and sharing transferable knowledge globally. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show the superiority of our proposed framework against ten numerical and data-driven machine learning baselines.

| 2022 | Multi-Temporal Image Analysis for Detection And Mitigation of Radio Frequency Interference ArtifactsabstractSpace-based radar has the characteristics of all-weather operation, and can accurately provide important data for understanding global environmental changes. On the other hand, with the rapid development of radio technology, space-based radar is facing more and more interference, such as terrestrial interference and inter-satellite interference, which greatly distort the measurements and degrade the image quality. In this paper, a novel interference mitigation method based on multi-temporal coupling analysis is proposed. The temporal-spatial coupling between time-series images could be modeled as low rank, while the interference follows the sparsity constraints due to the time-varying property. The interference extraction and mitigation on remote sensing images is realized by optimization by joint low-rank and sparsity regularization. The experimental results of Sentinel-1A data show that the method can achieve the separation of interference and restore clear remote sensing images with little distortion.

| 2022 | An Attribute-Driven Mirror Graph Network for Session-based RecommendationabstractSession-based recommendation (SBR) aims to predict a user's next clicked item based on an anonymous yet short interaction sequence. Previous SBR models, which rely only on the limited short-term transition information without utilizing extra valuable knowledge, have suffered a lot from the problem of data sparsity. This paper proposes a novel mirror graph enhanced neural model for session-based recommendation (MGS), to exploit item attribute information over item embeddings for more accurate preference estimation.

| 2022 | Extraction and Mitigation of Radio Frequency Interference Artifacts Based on Time-Series Sentinel-1 SAR DataabstractRadio frequency interference (RFI) is a critical issue for accurate remote sensing by synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Existing literature mainly detects and mitigates RFI in the raw data domain, which is generally not accessible to the end-user. In this article, a novel RFI extraction and mitigation scheme in the image domain is proposed using multitemporal analysis of SAR images. By exploiting the coupling correlation and complementary information among the time-series images, the background landscape could be modeled as relatively stationary with the low-rank property. Meanwhile, the radiometric artifacts corresponding to RFI could be well extracted and characterized by the sparse components. Extraction and mitigation of RFI signatures could be achieved simultaneously via a joint iterative optimization process. Experimental results on typical real-measured Sentinel-1 datasets acquired in different regional areas with various RFI types demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
