Unboxing the graph: Neural Relational Inference for Mobility Prediction

1 code implementation25 Jan 2022 Mathias Niemann Tygesen, Francisco C. Pereira, Filipe Rodrigues

Our approach has several advantages: 1) a Variational Auto Encoder structure allows for the graph to be dynamically determined by the data, potentially changing through time; 2) the encoder structure allows the use of external data in the generation of the graph; 3) it is possible to place Bayesian priors on the generated graphs to encode domain knowledge.
