Multi-view graph representing interactive learning network for time series forecasting
摘要
Time series forecasting plays a vital role in domains such as energy consumption estimation, weather analysis, and traffic flow prediction, where accurate predictions are crucial for effective planning and decision-making. However, current methods often struggle to model complex interdependencies among multiple variables and localized dynamics in long-range sequences, which limits forecasting performance. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces the Multi-view Graph Representing Interactive Learning Network (MGRILN). The model leverages graph convolutional networks to build topological structures from three complementary perspectives: temporal, dimensional, and cross-segmental. It uses differential operations to capture inter-dimensional trend shifts and constructs cross-segment graphs to represent local volatility correlations. A multi-scale interaction module is also integrated to model dependencies across different temporal resolutions. Comprehensive experiments on five real-world datasets show that MGRILN reduces MAE and MSE by an average of 8.7% and 9.2%, respectively, outperforming state-of-the-art benchmarks. For example, on the Weather dataset with a prediction horizon of 720 steps, it achieves an MAE of 0.334. These results demonstrate the model’s strong forecasting capability and practical value.
