Repository files navigation

This repository contains the code used in our ICDE-18 paper Deep Representation Learning for Trajectory Similarity Computation.

Requirements

  • Ubuntu OS
  • Julia 1.5+ (tested on 1.5)
  • Python >= 3.8 (Anaconda3 is recommended)
  • PyTorch 1.0+ (tested on 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7)

Please refer to the source code to install all required packages in Julia and Python.

You can install all packages involved for Julia by running,

$ julia pkg-install.jl

Preprocessing

The preprocessing step will generate all data required in the training stage.

  1. For the Porto dataset, you can do as follows.

    $ curl http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/00339/train.csv.zip -o data/porto.csv.zip
    $ unzip data/porto.csv.zip
    $ mv train.csv data/porto.csv
    $ cd preprocessing
    $ julia porto2h5.jl
    $ julia preprocess.jl
  2. If you want to work on another city, you are supposed to provide the expected hdf5 input t2vec/data/cityname.h5 as well as set proper hyperparameters in t2vec/hyper-parameters.json. The expected hdf5 input requires the following format,

    attributes(f)["num"] = number of trajectories
    
    f["/trips/i"] = matrix (2xn)
    f["/timestamps/i"] = vector (n,)

    where attributes(f)["num"] stores the number of trajectories in total; f["/trips/i"] is the gps matrix for i-th trajectory, the first row is the longitude sequence and the second row is the latitude sequence, f["/timestamps/i"] is the corresponding timestamp sequence. Please refer to porto2h5 to see how to generate it.

The generated files for training are saved in t2vec/data/.

Training

$ python t2vec.py -vocab_size 18864 -criterion_name "KLDIV" -knearestvocabs "data/porto-vocab-dist-cell100.h5"

where 18866 is the output of last stage.

The training produces two model checkpoint.pt and best_model.pt, checkpoint.pt contains the latest trained model and best_model.pt saves the model which has the best performance on the validation data. You can find our saved best_model.pt here.

In our original experiment, the model was trained with a Tesla K40 GPU about 14 hours so you can just terminate the training after 14 hours if you use a GPU that is as good as or better than K40, the above two models will be saved automatically.

Encoding and Experiments

Vector representation

In our experiments we train a three-layers model and the last layer outputs are used as the trajectory representations:

vecs = h5open(joinpath("", "trj.h5"), "r") do f
    read(f["layer3"])
end

vecs[i] # the vector representation of i-th trajectory

Experiments

Please refer to the jupyter-notebook for the experiments once you obtain the trained model (install Ijulia for the Jupyter notebook first).
