GNN Architecture

We design novel GNN architectures that integrate spatial attention and temporal convolution for traffic modeling.

Fine-Tuning Techniques

We apply fine-tuning techniques to enhance model accuracy and predict steady-state traffic conditions.
A multi-lane road with a motorcycle and a person blocking one section, likely for road maintenance or control. Several cars are driving on the open lanes, and large buildings with reflective glass facades are seen in the background against a backdrop of lush green hills. Traffic signs in both English and Chinese are present, indicating directions.

Our research requires GPT-4 fine-tuning capabilities for several critical reasons that cannot be addressed with GPT-3.5. Developing effective GNN architectures for traffic flow prediction involves exceptionally complex mathematical concepts and intricate network relationships that demand the superior reasoning and analytical capabilities of GPT-4. Our preliminary work demonstrates that optimizing GNN architectures requires fine-tuning on extensive graph theory and deep learning literature to grasp subtle architectural choices that fundamentally impact prediction accuracy. Additionally, interpreting complex network patterns and equilibrium dynamics requires sophisticated mathematical reasoning about how different components interact—a complex analytical task exceeding GPT-3.5's capabilities. Furthermore, developing effective traffic management strategies demands maintaining consistent consideration of multiple objectives (efficiency, equity, sustainability) while optimizing network performance—a multi-objective optimization challenge requiring GPT-4's enhanced reasoning abilities.
