“…The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/0036-8792.htm feature representation, struggle to capture long-span temporal structures within a single temporal window (Ji et al, 2012;Tran et al, 2015;Zhu et al, 2022), rendering them less suitable for spatiotemporal sequence prediction problems where time-series relationships are crucial. Conversely, convolutional LSTMs (ConvLSTMs), despite their capacity to process spatial characteristics in three-dimensional tensors, often fail to retain detailed information in raw data, thereby compromising their predictive accuracy (Miao et al, 2022;Zhou et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022;Zhao et al, 2023). To address these challenges, we propose a novel spatiotemporal LSTM (ST-LSTM) that introduces a groundbreaking memory state transfer method, enabling interaction and updating of memory states across different network layers (Goodfellow et al, 2016).…”
