Abstract

A method for inferring venue visits using semantic information includes receiving sensor data from sensors. An indication of a location is received that is associated with a user and determined based on the sensor data. A set of candidate venues associated with the location is determined based on the indication of the location. Sets of semantic information associated with the set of candidate venues are determined based on the sensor data. Candidate venues of the set are ranked by confidence that a given candidate venue corresponds to a visited venue of a venue visit based on the set of semantic information associated with the given candidate venue and additional semantic information associated with the user. A highest ranked candidate venue is selected as the visited venue and an indication is provided to a service causing content to be presented to the user based on the selected visited venue.
