Next Location Prediction

Next location prediction aims to forecast an individual's next destination based on their past movements and contextual information, with applications ranging from urban planning to personalized recommendations. Current research emphasizes the use of deep learning architectures, including transformers and recurrent neural networks like LSTMs, to capture complex spatio-temporal patterns in mobility data, often incorporating auxiliary information such as travel mode and land use. Significant efforts focus on improving model accuracy, efficiency (especially for deployment on resource-constrained devices), and addressing privacy concerns through federated learning approaches. These advancements hold promise for optimizing resource allocation, improving transportation systems, and enhancing location-based services.
