Human Behavior Challenge Winning Solution

Abstract

This paper describes the winning method and results of the Human Behaviour Challenge 201811https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/17401. GPS trajectories from smartphones and associated metadata of people involved in a game of finding hidden objects were collected at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan. The competition, hosted at codalab.org, challenged the participants to find a solution that could predict the future destination and past starting point from the given data. Knowing the future and past track data of users could enable the organizers to provide personalized and localized services.
