  • 基于贝叶斯误差率构建统一评估框架
  • 在多个数据集上优于现有方法,误差更低
  • 适合无真实标签时的预测性能评估

人类移动预测性指给定输入信息下可达到的最佳预测性能,但其真实值无法直接观测。本文提出BER-PEF框架,将贝叶斯误差率估计转化为移动预测性估计,并提供无需真实标签的统一比较协议。该框架将符号序列、数值轨迹、上下文特征及学习表征映射至统一特征-标签空间,通过控制扰动曲线,测量输出在参考区间内、外及整体的偏差。在Foursquare NYC、TKY、GeoLife和T-Drive数据集上的实验表明,多个基于贝叶斯误差率的估计器在符号序列与数值轨迹上均实现更低的参考偏差,且其估计结果能跟踪扰动下的实际预测性能变化。额外分析显示,上下文输入与多结构表示可在同一协议下评估,聚合多扰动水平证据比单一未扰动观测更可靠。BER-PEF因此为异构移动数据提供了统一且可验证的预测性评估路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Human mobility predictability concerns the best prediction performance attainable from a given target and input information, but its ground truth is not directly observable on real mobility data. We present BER-PEF, a Bayes-error-rate-based framework that converts BER estimation into mobility predictability estimation and provides a unified protocol for comparing estimators without observable ground truth. The framework maps symbolic sequences, numeric trajectories, contextual features, and learned representations into a common feature--label space, then evaluates estimator outputs along controlled perturbation curves against a shared predictability reference interval by measuring deviations below the interval, above the interval, and across the full interval. Experiments on Foursquare NYC and TKY, GeoLife, and T-Drive show that several BER-based estimators achieve lower reference discrepancy than existing predictability methods on symbolic sequences and numeric trajectories, while their estimates track changes in empirical prediction performance under perturbation. Additional analyses show that contextual inputs and multiple structured representations can be evaluated under the same protocol, and that aggregating evidence across multiple perturbation levels provides a more reliable basis for estimator selection than relying on a single unperturbed observation. BER-PEF therefore offers a unified and verifiable path for evaluating predictability estimators on heterogeneous mobility data when ground-truth predictability is unavailable.
