Dual Memory LSTM with Dual Attention Neural Network for Spatiotemporal Prediction.

Spatiotemporal prediction is challenging due to extracting representations being inefficient and the lack of rich contextual dependences. A novel approach is proposed for spatiotemporal prediction using a dual memory LSTM with dual attention neural network (DMANet). A new dual memory LSTM (DMLSTM) unit is proposed to extract the representations by leveraging differencing operations between the consecutive images and adopting dual memory transition mechanism. To make full use of historical representations, a dual attention mechanism is designed to capture long-term spatiotemporal dependences by computing the correlations between the current hidden representations and the historical hidden representations from temporal and spatial dimensions, respectively. Then, the dual attention is embedded into DMLSTM unit to construct a DMANet, which enables the model with greater modeling power for short-term dynamics and long-term contextual representations. An apparent resistivity map (AR Map) dataset is proposed in this paper. The B-spline interpolation method is utilized to enhance AR Map dataset and makes apparent resistivity trend curve continuous derivative in the time dimension. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed method has excellent prediction performance by comparisons with some state-of-the-art methods.
