Accurate traffic prediction is essential for effective urban management and the improvement of transportation efficiency. Recently, data-driven traffic prediction methods have been widely adopted, with better performance than traditional approaches. However, they often require large amounts of data for effective training, which becomes challenging given the prevalence of data scarcity in regions with inadequate sensing infrastructures. To address this issue, we propose a Semantic-Fused Multi-Granularity Transfer Learning (SFMGTL) model to achieve knowledge transfer across cities with fused semantics at different granularities. In detail, we design a semantic fusion module to fuse various semantics while conserving static spatial dependencies via reconstruction losses. Then, a fused graph is constructed based on node features through graph structure learning. Afterwards, we implement hierarchical node clustering to generate graphs with different granularity. To extract feasible meta-knowledge, we further introduce common and private memories and obtain domain-invariant features via adversarial training. It is worth noting that our work jointly addresses semantic fusion and multi-granularity issues in transfer learning. We conduct extensive experiments on six real-world datasets to verify the effectiveness of our SFMGTL model by comparing it with other state-of-the-art baselines. Afterwards, we also perform ablation and case studies, demonstrating that our model possesses substantially fewer parameters compared to baseline models. Moreover, we illustrate how knowledge transfer aids the model in accurately predicting demands, especially during peak hours. The codes can be found at https://github.com/zeonchen/SFMGTL.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in handling a range of graph analytical tasks across various domains, such as e-commerce and social networks. Despite their versatility, GNNs face significant challenges in transferability, limiting their utility in real-world applications. Existing research in GNN transfer learning overlooks discrepancies in distribution among various graph datasets, facing challenges when transferring across different distributions. How to effectively adopt a well-trained GNN to new graphs with varying feature and structural distributions remains an under-explored problem. Taking inspiration from the success of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) in adapting large language models to various domains, we propose GraphLoRA, an effective and parameter-efficient method for transferring well-trained GNNs to diverse graph domains. Specifically, we first propose a Structure-aware Maximum Mean Discrepancy (SMMD) to align divergent node feature distributions across source and target graphs. Moreover, we introduce low-rank adaptation by injecting a small trainable GNN alongside the pre-trained one, effectively bridging structural distribution gaps while mitigating the catastrophic forgetting. Additionally, a structure-aware regularization objective is proposed to enhance the adaptability of the pre-trained GNN to target graph with scarce supervision labels. Extensive experiments on eight real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of GraphLoRA against fourteen baselines by tuning only 20% of parameters, even across disparate graph domains.
