2,247 Citations2006Dirk Brockmann, Lars Hufnagel +1 more
It is shown that human travelling behaviour can be described mathematically on many spatiotemporal scales by a two-parameter continuous-time random walk model to a surprising accuracy, and concluded that human travel on geographical scales is an ambivalent and effectively superdiffusive process.

1,958 Citations2007Jukka‐Pekka Onnela, Jari Saramäki +6 more
It is found that, when it comes to information diffusion, weak and strong ties are both simultaneously ineffective, and this coupling significantly slows the diffusion process, resulting in dynamic trapping of information in communities.
Mining interesting locations and travel sequences from GPS trajectories
1,915 Citations2009Yu Zheng, Lizhu Zhang +2 more
This work first model multiple individuals' location histories with a tree-based hierarchical graph (TBHG), and proposes a HITS (Hypertext Induced Topic Search)-based inference model, which regards an individual's access on a location as a directed link from the user to that location.
NatureA universal model for mobility and migration patterns
1,510 Citations2012Filippo Simini, Marta C. González +2 more
A stochastic process capturing local mobility decisions that helps to derive commuting and mobility fluxes that require as input only information on the population distribution is introduced, significantly improving the predictive accuracy of most of the phenomena affected by mobility and transport processes.

A probabilistic model is introduced that describes the worldwide spread of infectious diseases and shows that a forecast of the geographical spread of epidemics is indeed possible, taking into account national and international civil aviation traffic.

A richer model relating geography and social-network friendship is introduced, in which the probability of befriending a particular person is inversely proportional to the number of closer people.

This paper shows that, by using the location data based on GPS and users' comments at various locations, it can discover interesting locations and possible activities that can be performed there for recommendations and extensively evaluated the system.

A framework for quantifying the answers to questions about social ties between people is developed, and this framework is applied to publicly available data from a social media site, finding that even a very small number of co-occurrences can result in a high empirical likelihood of a social tie.

This work presents a comprehensive study of the spatial properties of the social networks arising among users of three main popular online location-based services, and provides evidence that mechanisms akin to gravity models may influence how these social connections are created over space.

A study of the relationship between preferences for social events and geography, the first of its kind in a large metropolitan area, finds that the most effective algorithm recommends events that are popular among residents of an area, while the least effective recommendsEvents that are geographically close to the area, has interesting implications for location-based services that emphasize recommending nearby events.

A general stochastic meta-population model that incorporates actual travel and census data among 3 100 urban areas in 220 countries shows that the integration of long-range mobility and demographic data provides epidemic models with a predictive power that can be consistently tested and theoretically motivated.

This study illustrates how time series data of the host–pathogen dynamics, especially of the number of susceptible individuals, can greatly facilitate the fitting of mechanistic disease models.
