Urban crime forecasting is a challenging problem. Crime patterns evolve over time, vary across geographical regions, and involve inherent uncertainty. Capturing these dynamics requires models that go beyond conventional deterministic approaches. In our work, we propose a family of Graph Neural Stochastic Differential Equation (GN-SDE) models for urban crime-intensity forecasting, combining graph-based spatial interactions, nonlinear temporal dynamics, and stochasticity. This work demonstrates the potential of combining Graph Neural Networks, Stochastic Differential Equations, and Scientific Machine Learning to develop accurate, mathematically grounded models for complex urban systems.

Neural ODEs model transformations in a continuous-depth framework, enabling applications that range from image generation and sequence modeling to scientific computing. Despite their success, a key open question has persisted: How well do Neural ODEs generalize to unseen data?
Our work accepted in TMLR, developed a generalization bound for Neural ODEs with nonlinear and time-dependent dynamics, assuming only that the underlying function is Lipschitz continuous. By advancing the theoretical understanding of Neural ODEs, we move closer to explaining why these continuous-depth models can learn effectively across diverse domains.
