The 2018 Grand Challenge targets the problem of accurate predictions on data streams produced by automatic identification system (AIS) equipment, describing naval traffic. This paper reports the technical details of a custom solution, which exposes multiple tuning parameters, making its configurability one of the main strengths. Our solution employs a cell grid architecture essentially based on a sequence of hash tables, specifically built for the targeted use case. This makes it particularly effective in prediction on AIS data, obtaining a high accuracy and scalable performance results. Moreover, the architecture proposed accommodates also an optionally semi-supervised learning process besides the basic supervised mode.
