arXiv:2606. 10314v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although the study of human trajectory anomalies is critical for advancing spatial data mining, empirical research remains severely hindered by a pervasive lack of ground-truth datasets.
arXiv:2606. 12657v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human mobility data is important for transportation, urban planning, and epidemic control, but large-scale trajectory collection is often costly and privacy-constrained, motivating realistic synthetic trajectory generation.
arXiv:2607. 08357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human mobility data are essential for transportation optimization, urban planning, and resource allocation, yet real-world mobility data are costly to collect and difficult to share due to privacy concerns.
arXiv:2606. 13835v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based generative agents are increasingly used in urban simulators, yet it remains unclear whether they reproduce empirically realistic human mobility patterns or merely generate plausible mobility narratives.
arXiv:2608. 02052v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human mobility prediction models, which forecast the next location in a user's trajectory, are increasingly deployed in urban analytics, navigation, and personalized services.
arXiv:2608. 14570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding human mobility is critical for a wide range of urban applications, including traffic management, epidemic control, and urban planning.
LE4Mob is a new location embedding framework that learns inductive, distance‑aware representations from geographic context, enabling it to encode unseen locations and preserve spatial relationships. It builds on contrastive language‑location pre‑training and adds a regularisation objective that encourages the embedding space to reflect geographic distance. Experiments on next‑location prediction and commuter flow generation across multiple datasets show that LE4Mob outperforms strong baselines, especially in inductive settings and when downstream models use direct interactions between location embeddings.

arXiv:2505.11239v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding human mobility through Point-of-Interest (POI) trajectory modeling is increasingly important for applications such as urban planning,...
The paper introduces Nomad, a transfer-and-ground framework for generating human mobility trajectories without target-city trajectory data. It learns relative transitions from source cities using POI attributes and then grounds these transitions onto a target city’s POI map via a behavior graph and exploration–return walk. Experiments across ten cities show Nomad improves trajectory fidelity and downstream utility by roughly 15% and 3% respectively over adaptation baselines.
arXiv:2606. 01640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human mobility generation aims to synthesize realistic trip chains for target populations based on individual features.
The paper demonstrates that real‑time urban mobility patterns can be reconstructed from aggregated area‑level counts, without tracking individuals. Using a physics‑informed, uncertainty‑aware framework, the authors infer future origin‑destination flows across twelve datasets from the U.S. and China, achieving accuracy comparable to models that use historical OD matrices. Probabilistic modeling corrects underestimation of sparse corridors, and architectures that preserve spatial heterogeneity before reconstructing pairwise interactions yield more faithful interaction estimates.
