In this study, we present an graph-attention-based approach for air quality prediction at multiple monitoring stations termed the Multi-scale Spatio-Temporal Graph Attention Network (MSTGAN). Experiments with two real-world datasets showed the proposed MSTGAN achieved the highest prediction accuracies for 12,18 and 24-hour prediction time lengths, compared to several state-of-the-art methods.
MSTGAN uses the following dependencies
- Pytorch 1.12.1 and its dependencies
- Numpy and Pandas
- CUDA 11.8 or latest version
