Sequence prediction

As explained in Graph Neural Networks in Action

A prediction task in which a model uses ordered past observations to predict subsequent observations or events.

Sequence prediction uses ordered past observations to infer what happens next. Typical uses include autocomplete, search, and forecasting sensor positions or pose changes from a few input frames. section 6.2.2

A practical sequence-prediction workflow:

  • Prepare temporal inputs and labels from observed events or frames. section 6.2.2
  • Use memory so earlier observations influence later predictions; recurrent neural networks implement this through linked subnetworks. section 6.2.2

Sensor-position forecasting

Given several frames of sensor data, predict the next position for every sensor and continue producing future movements from the model's previous outputs.

How Graph Neural Networks in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Builds an RNN-based training and testing workflow, including memory, preprocessing, optimization, and multi-step rollout.
Examples
Uses autocomplete, search, sensor positions, pose frames, and predicted future movements as concrete examples.
What it assumes
Assumes prepared temporal data and labels, while introducing memory as the mechanism connecting past observations to future predictions.
What you can do after
Apply it via an RNN to train models and generate multi-step predictions from sensor sequences.
How it connects
Connects sequence prediction to recurrent neural networks, transformers, attention mechanisms, and dynamic graphs.
