Filling the G_ap_s: Multivariate Time Series Imputation by Graph Neural Networks (ICLR 2022 - open review - pdf)

ICLR PDF arXiv

This repository contains the code for the reproducibility of the experiments presented in the paper "Filling the G_ap_s: Multivariate Time Series Imputation by Graph Neural Networks" (ICLR 2022). In this paper, we propose a graph neural network architecture for multivariate time series imputation and achieve state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks.

Authors: Andrea Cini, Ivan Marisca, Cesare Alippi

‼️ PyG implementation of GRIN is now available inside Torch Spatiotemporal, a library built to accelerate research on neural spatiotemporal data processing methods, with a focus on Graph Neural Networks.

GRIN in a nutshell

The paper introduces GRIN, a method and an architecture to exploit relational inductive biases to reconstruct missing values in multivariate time series coming from sensor networks. GRIN features a bidirectional recurrent GNN which learns spatio-temporal node-level representations tailored to reconstruct observations at neighboring nodes.

Note that, given the size of the files, the datasets are not readily available in the folder. See the next section for the downloading instructions.

Datasets

All the datasets used in the experiment, except CER-E, are open and can be downloaded from this link. The CER-E dataset can be obtained free of charge for research purposes following the instructions at this link. We recommend storing the downloaded datasets in a folder named datasets inside this directory.

Configuration files

The config directory stores all the configuration files used to run the experiment. They are divided into folders, according to the model.

Library

The support code, including the models and the datasets readers, are packed in a python library named lib. Should you have to change the paths to the datasets location, you have to edit the __init__.py file of the library.

Scripts

The scripts used for the experiment in the paper are in the scripts folder.

  • run_baselines.py is used to compute the metrics for the MEAN, KNN, MF and MICE imputation methods. An example of usage is

     python ./scripts/run_baselines.py --datasets air36 air --imputers mean knn --k 10 --in-sample True --n-runs 5

  • run_imputation.py is used to compute the metrics for the deep imputation methods. An example of usage is

     python ./scripts/run_imputation.py --config config/grin/air36.yaml --in-sample False

  • run_synthetic.py is used for the experiments on the synthetic datasets. An example of usage is

     python ./scripts/run_synthetic.py --config config/grin/synthetic.yaml --static-adj False

Requirements

We run all the experiments in python 3.8, see requirements.txt for the list of pip dependencies.
