A hybrid architecture with bidirectional gating mechanism for spatiotemporal air quality prediction
摘要
Accurate air quality prediction plays a crucial role in supporting various socio-economic activities, including agriculture, transportation, and disaster prevention. While traditional numerical air quality prediction methods and single-model deep learning approaches struggle to capture complex spatiotemporal dependencies, this study proposes a CNN-Transformer-LSTM model with a Bidirectional Gating Mechanism, termed BG-Hybrid, which dynamically balances local spatial features (CNN) and global temporal dependencies (Transformer) through the bidirectional gating core. The BG-Hybrid model enables adaptive feature fusion by projecting pooled features from both the two branches into sigmoid-activated weights (
