Abstract
A system coupled to a packet-based network is configured to predict the locations of mobile devices that have communicated with the packet-based network. The system includes a request processor configured to detect location events associated with mobile devices communicating with the packet-based network, each location event corresponding to a time stamp and identifying a geo-place in a geo database. The geo-places include geo-blocks and geo-fences. The system further comprises a location prediction subsystem configured to construct first feature space using first location events and second feature space using second location events, and to extract a set of labels from third location events. The location prediction subsystem is further configured to train a prediction model using the first feature space and the set of labels, and to apply the prediction model to the second feature space to obtain prediction results.
