Google Research Introduces ME-POIs: A Mobility-Informed Framework that Adds “How a Place Is Used” to Text-Based POI Embeddings
MarkTechPost 1 month ago 19
Google Research and USC released Mobility-Embedded POIs (ME-POIs), a framework that adds aggregate movement patterns to text-based place embeddings. It reports relative gains up to 81.9% F1 for visit-intent on Los Angeles mobility data. Deployability is limited because the paper is released without public code or weights and requires licensed foot-traffic/visit logs plus POI polygons.
