Sensors are the key to sensing the environment and imparting benefits to smart cities in many aspects, such as providing real-time air quality information throughout an urban area. However, a prerequisite is to obtain fine-grained knowledge of the environment. There is a limit to how many sensors can be installed in the physical world due to non-negligible expenses. In this paper, we propose to infer real-time information of any given location in a city based on historical and current observations from the available sensors (termed spatiotemporal inference). Our approach decouples the modeling of short-term and long-term patterns, relying on two major components. Firstly, unlike previous studies that separated the spatial and temporal relation learning, we introduce a joint spatiotemporal graph attention network that learns the short-term dependencies across both the spatial and temporal dimensions. Secondly, we propose an adaptive graph recurrent network with a time skip for capturing long-term patterns. The adaptive adjacency matrices are learned inductively first as the inputs of a recurrent network to learn dynamic dependencies. Experimental results on four public read-world datasets show that our method reduces state-of-the-art baseline mean absolute errors by 5
