The article presents a novel approach to trajectory representation learning (TRL) through a method called BLUrred Encoding (BLUE). This technique addresses the limitations of existing TRL methods that often lose fine-grained spatial-temporal details by grouping GPS points into larger segments. BLUE creates hierarchical patches of varying sizes, allowing for the preservation of detailed travel semantics while capturing overall travel patterns. The model employs an encoder-decoder structure with a pyramid design to enhance the representation of trajectories.

This paper presents a mathematical interpretation of self-attention by connecting it to distributional semantics principles. It demonstrates that self-attention arises from projecting corpus-level co-occurrence statistics into sequence context. The authors show how the query-key-value mechanism serves as an asymmetric extension for modeling directional relationships, with positional encodings and multi-head attention as structured refinements. The analysis indicates that the Transformer architecture's algebraic form is derived from these projection principles.

Deep neural networks are susceptible to adversarial perturbations that can lead to incorrect predictions. The paper introduces DeepDefense, a defense framework utilizing Gradient-Feature Alignment (GFA) regularization across multiple layers to mitigate this vulnerability. By aligning input gradients with internal feature representations, DeepDefense creates a smoother loss landscape, reducing sensitivity to adversarial noise. The method shows significant robustness improvements against various attacks, particularly on the CIFAR-10 dataset.
