Understanding human mobility patterns is a significant research endeavour that has received considerable attention, with applications to predicting the spread of infectious diseases, improving urban planning, and offering context-aware assistance on mobile devices. However, in practice, human location behaviour and the resulting data are subject to considerable uncertainty, motivating the use of probabilistic methods to summarise and predict behaviour. In this talk, I present recent successes and ongoing challenges of applying statistical machine learning to this task.
