METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY INFERRING PLACE PROPERTIES BASED ON SPATIAL ACTIVITY DATA USING BAYESIAN MODELS

摘要

A method for automatically inferring place properties is provided. The method includes (i) obtaining one or more event data streams associated with one or more entities, (ii) identifying one or more locations associated with each of the one or more event data streams, (iii) deriving at least one contextual event based on a spatial activity of each of the one or more entities and attributes of at least one entity visiting the one or more locations or a weather data, (iv) inferring a land-use and at least one place property of the one or more locations based on the one or more event data streams using at least one data driven model and the at least one contextual event, and (v) re-estimating the at least one place property of the one or more locations when different value for the at least one of place property is inferred.
