Analysis of Sparse Trajectory Features Based on Mobile Device Location for User Group Classification Using Gaussian Mixture Model by Yohei Kakimoto, Yuto Omae, Hirotaka Takahashi

“…We propose a feature extraction method based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM), which assigns representative points (RPs) by clustering the location data and aggregating user trajectories into these RPs. We then construct three machine learning (ML) models—support vector classifier (SVC), random forest (RF), and deep neural network (DNN)—using the GMM-based features and compare their performance with that of the improved DNN (IDNN), which is an existing feature extraction approach. …”
