From Points to Places: Towards Human Mobility-Driven Spatiotemporal Foundation Models via Understanding Places
- 从兴趣点转向动态场所建模,融合位置语义与人类移动模式。
- 强调多尺度推理与可扩展性,支持跨区域迁移分析。
- 适合城市规划、智能物流等需要空间上下文感知的应用场景。
捕捉人类移动对于理解人与物理空间的互动、资源获取及动态空间模式至关重要。为实现跨不同地理和情境的可扩展、可迁移分析,亟需通用的时空基础模型。尽管基础模型已革新语言与视觉领域,但对移动数据特有的空间、时间与语义复杂性仍处理有限。本文倡导一类新型空间基础模型,将地理位置语义与人类移动在多尺度上融合。核心在于从建模离散兴趣点转向理解‘场所’:由人类行为塑造的动态、上下文丰富的区域,可能包含多个兴趣点。我们识别出适应性、可扩展性与多粒度推理方面的关键差距,并提出聚焦于场所建模与高效学习的研究方向。目标是推动下一代地理空间智能的可扩展、上下文感知模型发展。此类模型可赋能个性化场所发现、物流优化与城市规划,最终实现更智能、响应更快的空间决策。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Capturing human mobility is essential for modeling how people interact with and move through physical spaces, reflecting social behavior, access to resources, and dynamic spatial patterns. To support scalable and transferable analysis across diverse geographies and contexts, there is a need for a generalizable foundation model for spatiotemporal data. While foundation models have transformed language and vision, they remain limited in handling the unique challenges posed by the spatial, temporal, and semantic complexity of mobility data. This vision paper advocates for a new class of spatial foundation models that integrate geolocation semantics with human mobility across multiple scales. Central to our vision is a shift from modeling discrete points of interest to understanding places: dynamic, context-rich regions shaped by human behavior and mobility that may comprise many places of interest. We identify key gaps in adaptability, scalability, and multi-granular reasoning, and propose research directions focused on modeling places and enabling efficient learning. Our goal is to guide the development of scalable, context-aware models for next-generation geospatial intelligence. These models unlock powerful applications ranging from personalized place discovery and logistics optimization to urban planning, ultimately enabling smarter and more responsive spatial decision-making.
