Methods and a system are provided that is performed by a computer server for inferring location context categories for a set of mobile users having at least two members. A method includes, for each mobile user in the set, obtaining at least one location context category therefor from publically available information responsive to uncertain mobile device location data. The method further includes applying multi-user collaborative machine learning to the at least one location context category for each mobile user in the set to infer a single refined location context category for each mobile user in the set.
