现有的煤自燃温度预测模型仅考虑监测数据前后的时间关联性，未考虑监测点之间的空间关系，并存在多步长煤自燃温度预测精度低的问题。针对上述问题，提出了一种基于图注意力网络（GAT）和Informer模型（GAT−Informer）的采空区煤自燃温度预测模型。首先，采用随机森林回归法和Savitzky−Golay滤波器对采空区沿空侧煤自燃监测数据中的异常值、缺失值和噪声进行处理，并使用Z−score方法对数据进行标准化。其次，采用GAT提取多个监测点煤自燃监测数据间的空间特征。然后，使用Informer模型的编码器对包含空间特征的数据进行编码，利用多头概率稀疏自注意力机制捕捉数据之间的长期依赖关系和时间特征；解码器通过交叉注意力机制与编码器交互，结合编码器提取的全局特征与目标序列的上下文依赖关系，生成特征矩阵并输入全连接层，得到煤自燃温度预测值。最后，对Informer模型输出的煤自燃温度预测值进行反标准化处理，恢复到原始数据尺度，得到最终的预测结果。实验结果表明，相较于循环神经网络（RNN）、长短期记忆网络（LSTM）、门控循环单元（GRU）和Informer模型，GAT−Informer模型在6个监测点上预测24步长煤自燃温度时，均方误差（MSE）分别平均降低了15.70%，22.15%，25.45%，36.49%，平均绝对误差（MAE）分别平均降低了16.01%，14.60%，20.30%，26.27%，表明GAT−Informer模型能有效提高煤自燃温度多步长预测精度。

The existing coal spontaneous combustion temperature prediction models only consider the temporal correlation of the monitoring data, ignoring the spatial relationships between monitoring points, and suffer from low accuracy in multi-step temperature prediction of coal spontaneous combustion. To address these issues, a coal spontaneous combustion temperature prediction model for goaf areas based on graph attention network (GAT)-Informer model (GAT-Informer) was proposed. First, the random forest regression method and Savitzky-Golay filter were used to handle outliers, missing values, and noise in the spontaneous combustion monitoring data along the goaf side, and the Z-score method was applied to standardize the data. Secondly, GAT was employed to extract spatial features from the spontaneous combustion monitoring data at multiple monitoring points. Then, the encoder of the Informer model was used to encode the data containing spatial features, utilizing a multi-head probabilistic sparse self-attention mechanism to capture long-term dependencies and temporal features among the data. The decoder interacted with the encoder through a cross-attention mechanism, combining global features extracted by the encoder with the contextual dependencies of the target sequence to generate a feature matrix, which was then fed into the fully connected layer to obtain the coal spontaneous combustion temperature prediction value. Finally, the predicted temperature value output from the Informer model was de-standardized to restore it to the original data scale, yielding the final prediction results. Experimental results showed that, compared to recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and the Informer model, the GAT-Informer model reduced the mean squared error (MSE) by an average of 15.70%, 22.15%, 25.45%, and 36.49%, respectively, and the mean absolute error (MAE) by an average of 16.01%, 14.60%, 20.30%, and 26.27%, respectively, when predicting the coal spontaneous combustion temperature at 24 time steps across six monitoring points. These results indicate that the GAT-Informer model effectively improves the multi-step prediction accuracy of coal spontaneous combustion temperature.
