In warehouse-based e-commerce, accurate category-level warehouse demand prediction is essential to ensure effective inventory management. Existing works mainly explore advanced time series models to capture the temporal dynamics, failing to mine cross-category and cross-warehouse correlations effectively. In this paper, we explore large language models to understand the semantic information and fuse multi-view knowledge to enhance demand prediction. However, it is not trivial due to: i) the inaccurate LLM’s understanding of the category-related and warehouse-related textual input; and ii) the complicated cross-warehouse knowledge utilization. To solve the above challenges, we propose an LLM-guided multi-task graph learning framework, LMGL-WD, for category-level warehouse demand prediction. Specifically, LMGL-WD includes three components: i) an LLM-guided category series encoding module to represent each category through contextual and series embedding; ii) a cross-warehouse category learning module to adaptively mine the informative knowledge from cross warehouses to enhance category representation; and iii) a cross-category multi-task learning module to adaptively capture cross-category correlations to improve demand prediction. Extensive evaluation results with real-world data collected from one of the largest e-commerce platforms in China demonstrate that LMGL-WD achieves superior performance, e.g., reduces MAPE by up to 31.59%, compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Estimating service capabilities for logistics terminal stations is essential for guiding operations adjustments to enhance customer experience. However, existing studies often focus on isolated metrics like on-time delivery or complaint rates, each reflecting a specific aspect of service capabilities. To provide a more comprehensive evaluation, we design AdaService, an Adaptive multi-faceted Service capabilities co-estimation framework. We begin by constructing Multi-faceted Hypergraph to encode stations using multiple performance metrics. We then introduce a Multi-faceted Hypergraph Convolution Network (MHCN) to capture the heterogeneous service capabilities across stations, providing a comprehensive capabilities representation. Finally, we apply an Adaptive Multi-faceted Estimation module that uses multi-task learning to model dynamic interactions among these metrics, enhancing predictive accuracy. Extensive evaluation with real-world data collected from nationwide stations in a leading logistics company in China demonstrates that AdaService significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, improving estimation accuracy for on-time delivery, on-time pick-up, and complaint rates by up to 18.98%, 9.30%, and 39.62%.

Transperineal prostate puncture is challenging for the physician to manually place a needle and presents a steep learning curve. This paper proposes a novel ultrasound -guided series-parallel hybrid robot with the aim to enhance transperineal procedures. For maximum prostate coverage with flexibility and accuracy in needle placement, a 5 degrees of freedom series-parallel hybrid mechanism with two serial manipulators, a linear feeding unit, and an US probe positioning mechanism is be designed. In addition to mechanical design and kinematics modeling, an QPSO algorithm is proposed to optimize the mechanical parameters. Upon comprehensive comparison with alternative algorithms, the optimization outcomes fully align with clinical requirements. The prototype was fabricated and verified through needle insertion experiments in different scenarios to assess its feasibility. The absolute positioning error of the robot is 1. 47 mm in water and 1. 75 mm in gel phantom.

Order Transfer from the transfer center to delivery stations is an essential and expensive part of the logistics service chain. In practice, one vehicle sends transferred orders to multiple delivery stations in one transfer trip to achieve a better trade-off between the transfer cost and time. A key problem is generating the vehicle’s route for efficient order transfer, i. e. , minimizing the order transfer time. In this paper, we explore fine-grained delivery station features, i. e. , downstream couriers’ remaining working times in last-mile delivery trips and the transferred order distribution to design a Prediction-and-Scheduling framework for efficient Order Transfer called PSOT, including two components: i) a Courier’s Remaining Working Time Prediction component to predict each courier’s working time for conducting heterogeneous tasks, i. e. , order pickups and deliveries, with a context-aware location embedding and an attention-based neural network; ii) a Vehicle Scheduling component to generate the vehicle’s route to served delivery stations with an order-transfer-time-aware heuristic algorithm. The evaluation results with real-world data from one of the largest logistics companies in China show PSOT improves the courier’s remaining working time prediction by up to 35. 6% and reduces the average order transfer time by up to 51. 3% compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

Real-Time Human Mobility Modeling with Multi-View Learning

Real-time human mobility modeling is essential to various urban applications. To model such human mobility, numerous data-driven techniques have been proposed. However, existing techniques are mostly driven by data from a single view, for example, a transportation view or a cellphone view, which leads to over-fitting of these single-view models. To address this issue, we propose a human mobility modeling technique based on a generic multi-view learning framework called coMobile. In coMobile, we first improve the performance of single-view models based on tensor decomposition with correlated contexts, and then we integrate these improved single-view models together for multi-view learning to iteratively obtain mutually reinforced knowledge for real-time human mobility at urban scale. We implement coMobile based on an extremely large dataset in the Chinese city Shenzhen, including data about taxi, bus, and subway passengers along with cellphone users, capturing more than 27 thousand vehicles and 10 million urban residents. The evaluation results show that our approach outperforms a single-view model by 51% on average. More importantly, we design a novel application where urban taxis are dispatched based on unaccounted mobility demand inferred by coMobile.
