Abstract:
Location prediction plays a steadily growing role in Location Based Services (LBS), as these try to be more proactive and improve in this way the quality of service provided. Although recent location prediction systems go beyond just location data and build upon a wide range of models that describe semantic locations and personal preferences, none of them considers locations from the view of the user. Moreover, none takes into account the variance in people's way of perceiving and understanding concepts (locations in our case) depending on the situation. Minsky referred to this as (cognitive) emph{frames}. This paper posits that a dynamic semantic-similarity-based clustering of locations can be used for mining such location-specific frames, e.g. the varying meanings that people give to locations over time depending on the situation, their personality and their emotional state. The resulting situation-person-specific frames can in turn be used to enhance the location prediction.
