Short description: Mobile Analytics today focuses on a range of interesting problems including the inference of location semantics, user profiling based on mobile phone usage, identification of mobile social networks, predicting the next place of a user/device and recommending places of interest (PoI). The richness and diversity of the data that is being generated today via mobile devices, their connection points (e.g. CDR) and applications (e.g. location-based social networks/social-media) raises several research challenges which are of interest to both the data mining community as well as the mobile computing world. This talk will focus on specific research areas where mobility intersects with intelligence. We have been working on analysing both benchmark and real data from wearable sensors, mobile devices, cell-towers, and location-based social networks. This talk will present our recent research and applications/demonstrations in mobile analytics.
