Application of hybrid gate recurrent unit for in-store trajectory prediction based on indoor location system by Yi Zuo, Junhao Jiang, Katsutoshi Yada

“…In ILS experiments, we select crossing sections as universal background to filtering customers and their trajectories, and choose fish, vegetable, and meat sections as experiment target, so as to train a general prediction model for heterogeneous shopping behaviors. In methodologies, we propose several RNNs with hybrid gate units on pre-defined trajectory based on RFID data, and also investigate their advances on time-series regression task for trajectory prediction. …”
