A new research paper questions the necessity of Transformers for extracting global spatial information in traffic forecasting. The study proposes an alternative approach using a simple global aggregation operator, which achieves comparable results to standard spatial attention with significantly reduced computational complexity. The findings suggest that the benefits of spatial attention beyond a basic global background may be dataset-dependent and not always justify the increased complexity. AI
