ED-SA-ConvLSTM: A Novel Spatiotemporal Prediction Model and Its Application in Ionospheric TEC Prediction by Yalan Li, Haiming Deng, Jian Xiao, Bin Li, Tao Han, Jianquan Huang, Haijun Liu

“…Self-Attention Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (SA-ConvLSTM) can selectively store and focus on long-range spatial dependencies, but it requires the input length and output length to be the same due to its “n vs. n” structure, limiting its application. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an encoder-decoder SA-ConvLSTM, abbreviated as ED-SA-ConvLSTM. …”
