Predicting the next location of people from their mobile phone logs has become an active research area. Due to two main reasons this problem is very challenging: the log data is very large and there are variety of granularity levels for specifying the spatial and the temporal attributes. In this work, we focus on predicting the next location change of the user and when this change occurs. Our method has two steps, namely clustering the spatial data into larger regions and grouping temporal data into time intervals to get higher granularity levels, and then, applying sequential pattern mining technique to extract frequent movement patterns to predict the change of the region of the user and its time frame. We have validated our results with real data obtained from one of the largest mobile phone operators in Turkey. Our results are very encouraging, and we have obtained very high accuracy results.

Predicting the location and time of mobile phone users by using sequential pattern mining techniques
Özer, Mert; Karagöz, Pınar; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
Predicting the location of people from their mobile phone logs has become an active research area. Due to two main reasons this problem is very challenging: the log data is very large and there is a variety of granularity levels both for specifying the spatial and the temporal attributes, especially with low granularity level it becomes much more complicated to define common user behaviour patterns. For the location prediction problem domain, we focused on 3 sub-problems and proposed 3 different methods for...
Location Prediction of Mobile Phone Users Using Apriori-Based Sequence Mining with Multiple Support Thresholds
Keles, Ilkcan; Ozer, Mert; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar (2014-09-19)
Due to the increasing use of mobile phones and their increasing capabilities, huge amount of usage and location data can be collected. Location prediction is an important task for mobile phone operators and smart city administrations to provide better services and recommendations. In this work, we propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobile phone users. More specifically, we present a modified Apriori-based sequence mining algorithm for the next location prediction, which invo...
Predicting the Location and Time of Mobile Phone Users by Using Sequential Pattern Mining Techniques
Ozer, Mert; Keles, Ilkcan; Toroslu, Hakki; Karagöz, Pınar; Davulcu, Hasan (2016-06-01)
In recent years, using cell phone log data to model human mobility patterns became an active research area. This problem is a challenging data mining problem due to huge size and non-uniformity of the log data, which introduces several granularity levels for the specification of temporal and spatial dimensions. This paper focuses on the prediction of the location of the next activity of the mobile phone users. There are several versions of this problem. In this work, we have concentrated on the following th...
Methods for location prediction of mobile phone users
Keleş, İlkcan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
Due to the increasing use of mobile phones and their increasing capabilities, huge amount of usage and location data can be collected. Location prediction is an important task for mobile phone operators and smart city administrations to provide better services and recommendations. In this work, we have investigated several approaches for location prediction problem including clustering, classification and sequential pattern mining. We propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobil...
Comparison of domain-independent and domain-specific location predictors with campus-wide Wi-Fi mobility data
Karakoç, Mücahit; Coşar, Ahmet; Bayır, Murat Ali; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In mobile computing systems, predicting the next location of a mobile wireless user has gained interest over the past decade. Location prediction may have a wide-range of application areas such as network load balancing, advertising and web page prefetching. In the literature, there exist many location predictors which are divided into two main classes: domain-independent and domain-specific. Song et al. compare the prediction accuracy of the domain-independent predictors from four major families, namely, M...
