Approaching the Limit of Predictability in Human Mobility [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2013
In this study we analyze the travel patterns of 500,000 individuals in Cote d'Ivoire using mobile phone call data records. By measuring the uncertainties of movements using entropy, considering both the frequencies and temporal correlations of individual trajectories, we find that the theoretical maximum predictability is as high as 88%.

Examining the Limits of Predictability of Human Mobility [PDF]

Entropy, 2019
We challenge the upper bound of human-mobility predictability that is widely used to corroborate the accuracy of mobility prediction models. We observe that extensions of recurrent-neural network architectures achieve significantly higher prediction accuracy, surpassing this upper bound.

Limitations of mobile phone learning

The JALT CALL Journal, 2006
In this article, we discuss weaknesses inherent in mobile phone learning, and factors that limit its viability. (We do not discuss other m-learning devices such as PDAs.) We conclude that, while e-learning has met with some acceptance among educators and is increasingly being implemented, it will be necessary to solve the problems that we discuss ...

Cognition, functionality, and life space in older adults: the mediating role of perceived control and autonomy

Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging, 2023
Objectives: To examine a model of associations between cognition, functionality, and life-space mobility, and the mediating role of perceived control and autonomy. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of older adults aged over 72 years,
