Mining Ticketing Logs for Usage Characterization with Nonnegative Matrix Factorization

چکیده
Abstract. Understanding urban mobility is a fundamental question for institutional organizations (transport authorities, city halls) and it involves many different fields like social sciences, urbanism or geography. With the increasing number of probes tracking human locations, like magnetic pass for urban transportation, road sensors, CCTV systems or cell phones, mobility data are exponentially growing. Mining the activity logs in order to model and characterize efficiently our mobility patterns is a challenging task involving large scale noisy datasets. In this article, we present a robust approach to characterize activity patterns from the activity logs of a urban transportation network. Our study focuses on the Paris subway network. Our dataset includes more than 80 millions travels by 600k users. The proposed approach is based on a multi-scale representation of the user activities, coupled to a nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm. The latter is used to learn dictionaries of usages that can be exploited in order to characterize user mobility and station visits patterns. The relevance of the extracted dictionaries is then assessed by using them to cluster users and stations. This analysis shows that public transportation usage patterns are tightly linked to sociological patterns.

متن کاملA Modified Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Based on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
This paper presents a modified digital image watermarking method based on nonnegative matrix factorization. Firstly, host image is factorized to the product of three nonnegative matrices. Then, the centric matrix is transferred to discrete cosine transform domain. Watermark is embedded in low frequency band of this matrix and next, the reverse of the transform is computed. Finally, watermarked ...

متن کاملA new approach for building recommender system using non negative matrix factorization method
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization is a new approach to reduce data dimensions. In this method, by applying the nonnegativity of the matrix data, the matrix is decomposed into components that are more interrelated and divide the data into sections where the data in these sections have a specific relationship. In this paper, we use the nonnegative matrix factorization to decompose the user ratin...
