Outline

In this paper, we present CaLLiPer, a novel multimodal representation learning framework for predicting an individual's next location. To address the limitations of existing methods, such as the lack of explicit spatial information, the difficulty in integrating rich urban semantic contexts, and the problem of processing unknown locations, CaLLiPer adopts a contrastive learning approach that fuses spatial coordinates and semantic features of interest points. Experimental results show that CaLLiPer outperforms existing methods, especially in situations where new locations appear. We encourage reproducibility and follow-up research by making the code and data publicly available.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We demonstrate that multimodal, inductive location embeddings can be leveraged to improve the performance of personal mobility prediction systems.
We present a model that provides robust prediction performance even in situations where new locations appear.
Increase reproducibility and scalability of research through open code and data.
It suggests potential applications in various fields such as urban planning, transportation, public policy, and personalized mobility services.
Limitations:
Limitations on the type and size of datasets used in the experiments. Additional experiments on diverse datasets are needed.
A more in-depth analysis of the factors contributing to CaLLiPer's improved performance is needed.
Additional consideration is needed for various limitations and issues that may arise in real-world applications.
