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.

TSMini is a trajectory similarity learning model that introduces a sub-view modeling mechanism and a k‑nearest‑neighbor‑based loss to capture multi‑granularity trajectory patterns and relative similarity ranks. These innovations allow TSMini to approximate conventional trajectory similarity measures with high accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that TSMini outperforms state‑of‑the‑art models by an average of 15% on widely used similarity metrics.

The paper introduces Mobility Stream-Structure Synergy (MoSS), a method that fuses two complementary views of mobility data—an hourly inflow/outflow Sequence view and a Structure view derived from zigzag persistence diagrams—to capture temporal dynamics and evolving regional connectivity. MoSS employs a synergy module that extracts higher‑order representations from the co‑occurrence of these views, moving beyond additive fusion. Experiments on New York City and Chicago demonstrate that MoSS outperforms existing baselines on three downstream tasks using only mobility data.
