“…Large volumes of spatio-temporal (ST) data (e.g., GPS samples, location-based video footages, and remote sensing data) are increasingly collected and studied in diverse domains, including human mobility [118,119], intelligent transportation [120,121], urban planning [122,123], epidemiology [124,125], as well as environmental and climate science [126,127]. While recent advances in Machine Learning (ML), especially Deep Learning (DL) see great benefits in leveraging big ST data to facilitate model training and inference, transforming the raw ST data into ML ingestible features, however, still faces major challenges.…”
