Automatic detection of user trajectories from social media posts

作者:

Highlights:

• An automatic method for discovering user mobility patterns from social media posts.

• A novel text mining algorithm to automatically extract the main keywords in an area.

• A novel clustering algorithm to detect Regions-of-Interest from geotagged posts.

• A way to evaluate the accuracy of the different phases that compose our method.

• Experiments have been performed on a real dataset containing 3 million of Flickr items.
