The datasets we use for model training is detailed in Section 4.1 of our paper, which are still under processing for release. You can use the sampled data with 100 instances under "sample_data" folder. Besides, you can also test the code by using the air quality data from 2014/5/1 to 2015/4/30 in our previous research, i.e., KDD-13 and KDD-15. For more datasets, you can visit the homepage of Urban Computing Lab in JD Group.

GeoMAN uses the following dependencies:

• TensorFlow >= 1.5.0
• numpy and scipy.
• CUDA 8.0 or latest version. And cuDNN is highly recommended.

The model has the following inputs:

• local_inputs: the input of local spatial attention, shape->[batch_size, n_steps_encoder, n_input_encoder]
• global_inputs: the input of global spatial attention, shape->[batch_size, n_steps_encoder, n_sensors]
• external_inputs: the input of external factors, shape->[batch_size, n_steps_decoder, n_external_input]
• local_attn_states: shape->[batch_size, n_input_encoder, n_steps_encoder]
• global_attn_states: shape->[batch_size, n_sensors, n_input_encoder, n_steps_encoder]
• labels: ground truths, shape->[batch_size, n_steps_decoder, n_output_decoder]

The model implement mainly lies in "GeoMAN.py" and "base_model.py" and both of them are well commented. To train or test our model, please follow the presented notebooks.
