Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Train delay prediction is a key technology for train scheduling and timetable optimization, and constitutes a critical component of intelligent transportation systems. We present the first study on regional-level multi-train delay prediction problem, and focus on modeling the regional-level delay propagation and evolution process, and capturing coordinated operation status among multiple train clusters in the complex operation network. First, we propose a brand-new Multivariate Event Hypergraph Diffusion (MEHD) model, and introduce a novel data structure, the mixed hypergraph, which accurately models the spatio-temporal high-order correlations between the regional-level multi-train arrival events. Then, we propose a mixed hypergraph convolution method to characterize complex train operation network, which improves the ability to capture the spatio-temporal high-order correlations and non-Euclidean characteristics between events. Finally, we propose an event hypergraph diffusion process, and design a prior operational schedule-conditioned attention denoising module to enhance the ability to learn all train arrival event generation mechanisms. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our MEHD achieves superior performance compared to current state-of-the-art models on actual high-speed rail performance datasets, with an average improvement of 20%-30% on multiple metrics, and performs good robustness and efficiency. Subsequent experiments and analyses demonstrate the unique advantages of MEHD over single-train prediction methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first end-to-end model for regional-level multi-train delay prediction. The dataset and source code are available online: https://github.com/bjtuxuyi/MEHD .

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
