Exploring Communities for Effective Location Prediction

چکیده
Humans are social animals, they interact with different communities to conduct different activities. The literature has shown that human mobility is constrained by their social relations. In this work, we investigate the social impact on a user’s mobility from his communities in order to conduct location prediction effectively. Through analysis of a real-life dataset, we demonstrate that (1) a user gets more influences from his communities than from all his friends; (2) his mobility is influenced only by a small subset of his communities; (3) influence from communities depends on social contexts. We further exploit a SVM to predict a user’s future location based on his community information. Experimental results show that the model based on communities leads to more effective predictions than the one based on friends.

Location-Oriented Knowledge Management in a Tourism Context: Connecting Virtual Communities to Physical Locations
Virtual communities have shown to be rich sources of knowledge if community members are sharing what they know. A look at virtual communities related to traveling in Australia suggests that often members are more than happy to share what they know about certain locations. In this paper, we outline, from a Location-oriented Knowledge Management (LoKM) perspective, the steps necessary to connect ...

متن کاملNegative-Unlabeled Tensor Factorization for Location Category Inference from Highly Inaccurate Mobility Data
Identifying significant location categories visited by mobile users is the key to a variety of applications. This is an extremely challenging task due to the possible deviation between the estimated location coordinate and the actual location, which could be on the order of kilometers. We consider the location uncertainty circle determined by the reported location coordinate as the center and t...

متن کاملComputer aided selection of candidate vaccine antigens
Immunoinformatics is an emergent branch of informatics science that long ago pullulated from the tree of knowledge that is bioinformatics. It is a discipline which applies informatic techniques to problems of the immune system. To a great extent, immunoinformatics is typified by epitope prediction methods. It has found disappointingly limited use in the design and discovery of new vaccines, whi...
