Methods and systems for allocating network resources responsive to network traffic include modeling spatial correlations between fine spatial granularity traffic and coarse spatial granularity traffic for different sites and regions to determine spatial feature vectors for one or more sites in a network. Temporal correlations at a fine spatial granularity are modeled across multiple temporal scales, based on the spatial feature vectors. Temporal correlations at a coarse spatial granularity are modeled across multiple temporal scales, based on the spatial feature vectors. A traffic flow prediction is determined for the one or more sites in the network, based on the temporal correlations at the fine spatial granularity and the temporal correlations at the coarse spatial granularity. Network resources are provisioned at the one or more sites in accordance with the traffic flow prediction.

Multi-scale multi-granularity spatial-temporal traffic volume prediction

A method for employing a unified semi-supervised deep learning (DL) framework for turbulence forecasting is presented. The method includes extracting historical and forecasted weather features of a spatial region, calculating turbulence indexes to fill feature cubes, each feature cube representing a grid-based 3D region, and building an encoder-decoder framework based on convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) to model spatio-temporal correlations or patterns causing turbulence. The method further includes employing a dual label guessing component to dynamically integrate complementary signals from a turbulence forecasting network and a turbulence detection network to generate pseudo-labels, reweighing the generated pseudo-labels by a heuristic label quality detector based on KL-Divergence, applying a hybrid loss function to predict turbulence conditions, and generating a turbulence dataset including the predicted turbulence conditions.
