A Novel Framework for Online Amnesic Trajectory Compression in Resource-constrained Environments

Jiajun Liu, Kun Zhao, Philipp Sommer +4

State-of-the-art trajectory compression methods usually involve high space-time complexity or yield unsatisfactory compression rates, leading to rapid exhaustion of memory, computa…

Understanding the spatiotemporal pattern of grazing cattle movement

Kun Zhao, Raja Jurdak

In this study, we analyse a high-frequency movement dataset for a group of grazing cattle and investigate their spatiotemporal patterns using a simple two-state `stop-and-move' mob…

Diffusion in Colocation Contact Networks: the Impact of Nodal Spatiotemporal Dynamics

Bryce Thomas, Raja Jurdak, Kun Zhao +1

Temporal contact networks are studied to understand dynamic spreading phenomena such as communicable diseases or information dissemination. To establish how spatiotemporal dynamics…

Temporal Embedding in Convolutional Neural Networks for Robust Learning of Abstract Snippets

Jiajun Liu, Kun Zhao, Brano Kusy +2

The prediction of periodical time-series remains challenging due to various types of data distortions and misalignments. Here, we propose a novel model called Temporal embedding-en…

Optimal Lévy-flight foraging in a finite landscape

Kun Zhao, Raja Jurdak, Jiajun Liu +5

We present a simple model to study Lévy-flight foraging in a finite landscape with countable targets. In our approach, foraging is a step-based exploratory random search process wi…
