How mobility gives language models a deeper understanding of place

Google Research introduces a dynamic, mobility-informed framework called Mobility-Embedded POIs (ME-POIs) that enriches language model place representations by incorporating aggregated and anonymized mobility patterns, such as arrival times and stay durations, to improve predictions of attributes like opening hours, price levels, and busyness.
