MobiDiff: Semantic-Aware Multi-Channel Discrete Diffusion for Human Mobility Data 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.

Modelling daily activity patterns from mobile phone location data via deep representation learning

The paper introduces the Activity Chain Encoder (ACE), a self‑supervised deep learning model that transforms passively collected mobile phone location data into daily activity representations. ACE integrates pre‑trained urban embeddings, visit timing, and duration, using a Transformer to capture the sequential structure of stays, and is trained via masked activity modelling and contrastive learning without explicit activity labels. The resulting user‑level profiles are clustered and interpreted with temporal‑functional patterns and Census demographics, revealing six distinct weekday activity‑pattern groups in London that differ in daily rhythms, urban contexts, and demographic characteristics.

TS-Mob: Social and Geographical-Aware Time Series Foundation-Model Framework for Human Mobility Prediction

arXiv:2507. 00945v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Short-term forecasting of aggregated human mobility flows supports urban planning, intelligent transportation systems, and emergency response, yet existing models often require substantial mobility history and learn spatial structure implicitly through grids or graphs.
