Spatio-temporal Storytelling? Leveraging Generative Models for Semantic Trajectory Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we lay out a vision for analysing semantic trajectory traces and generating synthetic semantic trajectory data (SSTs) using generative language model. Leveraging the advancements in deep learning, as evident by progress in the field of natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, etc. we intend to create intelligent models that can study the semantic trajectories in various contexts, predicting future trends, increasing machine understanding of the movement of animals, humans, goods, etc. enhancing human-computer interactions, and contributing to an array of applications ranging from urban-planning to personalized recommendation engines and business strategy.
