Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Analysed home/work visit behaviour using data from 5099 users in 68 countries. • Introduced HoWDe, a robust and validated home/work detection algorithm. • Achieved up to 97% home and 88% work detection accuracy. • Revealed trade-offs in detection accuracy vs. user retention. • Released an open-source tool and dataset to support reproducible mobility research.
