ScaleTraj Transformer model improves human trajectory generation fidelity

Researchers have developed ScaleTraj, a new Transformer-based model designed to generate more realistic human trajectories. Existing methods often struggle to balance individual trajectory realism with population-level statistical fidelity, leading to issues like the "Population-Level Displacement Gap." ScaleTraj addresses this by decomposing location prediction into scale selection and scale-aware destination prediction. Experiments show ScaleTraj effectively reduces this gap and improves fidelity compared to existing generators. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel approach to improve the fidelity of generated human mobility data, potentially impacting applications reliant on accurate trajectory simulation.

    ScaleTraj: Scale-Decomposed Human Trajectory Generation

    Individual-level trajectories are essential for applications that rely on user-level mobility behavior. Existing mobility-generation approaches face a fundamental tension between individual-level and population-level statistical fidelity: top-down models reproduce aggregate mobil…
