Robust OT-Guided Generative Residual Domain Adaptation for Bike-Sharing Demand Prediction under Temporal Domain Shift
Researchers have developed a new framework called Gen-ROTDA to improve bike-sharing demand prediction models that degrade over time due to changing travel patterns. This method uses optimal transport to adapt models to new temporal domains, fitting a target-domain anchor with a small labeled subset and transferring residual demand. Experiments show Gen-ROTDA achieves the lowest Mean Absolute Error on recent prediction tasks and demonstrates stability even with noisy, unlabeled data, outperforming other optimal transport variants.
