Deep Graph Convolutional Networks for Wind Speed Prediction

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new model for wind speed prediction based on spatio-temporal graph convolutional networks. Here, weather stations are treated as nodes of a graph with a learnable adjacency matrix, which determines the strength of relations between the stations based on the historical weather data. The self-loop connection is added to the learnt adjacency matrix and its strength is controlled by additional learnable parameter. Experiments performed on real datasets collected from weather stations located in Denmark and the Netherlands show that our proposed model outperforms previously developed baseline models on the referenced datasets.
