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.

arXiv:2606. 16023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human mobility appears highly diverse, yet much of a person's daily mobility can be explained by a small set of recurring behavioral templates, such as commuting, school-centered activities, caregiving, nightlife, or errand patterns.

arXiv:2507. 13505v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cybersecurity simulation environments, such as cyber ranges, honeypots, and sandboxes, require realistic human behavior to be effective, yet no quantitative method exists to assess the behavioral fidelity of synthetic user personas.

The paper explores person identification using millimeter‑wave point clouds beyond traditional gait analysis, focusing on seven activities of daily living (ADLs). It introduces the mm‑ADL dataset of 11 subjects and proposes an activity‑conditioned framework that routes each clip to an activity‑specific identity expert via a supervised mixture of experts. Experiments show that hard routing improves closed‑set ID accuracy from 62.1% to 68.0% and significantly boosts re‑identification metrics, demonstrating the benefit of activity context under controlled indoor conditions.
