A new world-wide dataset of location and region types

Three levels of location information Most location based technologies today consider only the literal meaning of the word location: an exact latitude/longitude pair. But to uncover the meaning of why people visit a place, location should be considered at different scales. The answer to the question of where a person is, largely depends on the…

Loc2Vec: Learning location embeddings with triplet-loss networks

Introduction At Sentiance, we developed a platform that takes in smartphone sensor data such as accelerometer, gyroscope and location information, and extracts behavioral insights. Our AI platform learns about the user’s patterns and is able to predict and explain why and when things happen, allowing our customers to coach their users and engage with them…

Learning meaningful location embeddings from unlabeled visits

Introduction At Sentiance, we developed an AI platform that learns to detect and predict a person's behavior, routines and profile from mobile sensor data such as accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS. Many low level algorithms, such as our transport mode detector, are trained by supervised learning techniques for which we gathered labeled data by closely collaborating...

Large scale transport mode classification from mobile sensor data

Abstract   Transport mode detection based on mobile phone sensor data is a subdomain of activity detection. State-of-the-art results in literature are usually obtained on limited datasets with few human participants. Approaches used often require ideal situations where sensor data is always available or phones are expected to be in a specific position. In this...

Applying deep learning to distinguish drivers from passengers using sensor data

Sentiance provides a cutting-edge driving behaviour scoring technology. Based on sensor data collected from the user’s mobile phone we compute scores characterising smooth driving, anticipative behavior, compliance with speed limits and focused driving. However, not every car trip should be aggregated into the user profile. Being a passenger of a reckless taxi driver shouldn’t penalise your...

How AI drives the mobile contextual revolution

Introduction In “Predictions 2016: The Mobile Revolution Accelerates”, Forrester forecasted that by the end of 2016 more than 25% of companies will consider mobile not as a channel, but as a fully integrated part of their overall strategy. Moreover, the research firm expects customer-focused companies to take personalization to the next level by extracting relevant…

Driving behavior modeling using smart phone sensor data

Introduction The car insurance industry is rapidly transitioning from traditional fixed fee insurance packages to usage based insurance (UBI). With recent car insurance cost surges, insurance companies are starting to realize that the majority of well behaved customers shouldn’t have to pay for the excesses of the few. Traditional UBI approaches such as Pay As You…
