Using data from mobile phones to predict where people are going
We’ve seen that data from mobile phones can help us understand where people are. Can we use the same data to predict where people are going?
Mirco Musolesi presents new research on using smartphone data to predict users’ journeys. He explains how predictions become much better if you consider who mobile phone users are friends with.
Mirco Musolesi is a Reader in Networked Systems and Data Science at the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. His research interests lie at the interface of ubiquitous computing, large-scale data mining, and network science.
You can watch the whole of Mirco’s presentation “Mining and Understanding Big (and Small) Mobile Data” on YouTube (21:05).
