Researchers have developed MARCUS, a novel model for urban region representation learning that specifically addresses data incompleteness by treating missing data as a valuable signal rather than noise. The model employs a three-stage process: Intra Learning to encode observed features and missing patterns, Inter Learning to estimate modality reliability, and Fusion to generate final region embeddings using missing-aware and time-aware gating. Applied to rent prediction in Sydney and New York, MARCUS significantly outperformed existing baselines, reducing Mean Absolute Error (MAE) by 51.35% in Sydney and 12.62% in New York. AI
