Researchers have developed neuroGravity, a deep learning model designed to reconstruct human mobility networks in urban areas, particularly where data is scarce. This physics-informed model utilizes only population and facility distributions to infer mobility flows, showing strong correlations with socioeconomic indicators. The study found that the model's ability to transfer its learning to new cities is significantly influenced by the similarity in spatial income segregation between the source and target cities. neuroGravity has been used to generate mobility flow proxies for over 1,200 cities globally, addressing data limitations in underdeveloped regions.
