A refined limit on the predictability of human mobility [PDF]

2014 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom), 2014
It has been recently claimed that human movement is highly predictable. While an upper bound of 93% predictability was shown, this was based upon human movement trajectories of very high spatiotemporal granularity. Recent studies reduced this spatiotemporal granularity down to the level of GPS data, and under a similar methodology results once again ...
