Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks: Optimised Temporal Architecture (2501.10454v1)

Abstract: Spatio-Temporal graph convolutional networks were originally introduced with CNNs as temporal blocks for feature extraction. Since then LSTM temporal blocks have been proposed and shown to have promising results. We propose a novel architecture combining both CNN and LSTM temporal blocks and then provide an empirical comparison between our new and the pre-existing models. We provide theoretical arguments for the different temporal blocks and use a multitude of tests across different datasets to assess our hypotheses.
