A novel energy-efficient machine learning (ML) architecture is proposed for accurate next location prediction, designed for deployment on modest base stations and edge devices. The architecture achieves a balance between accuracy and model size by leveraging human mobility patterns from an entire city to determine the optimal ML configuration. Compared to published architectures, this approach reduces model parameters by 98% and training time by 75%, while maintaining a high level of accuracy (82.54%). This improvement enables the use of modest base stations and edge devices for next location prediction applications.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Next location prediction is important for many applications, like traffic management and resource allocation. A new way to do this uses machine learning (ML) on small devices that don’t have a lot of memory or storage. The researchers did 100 experiments to find the best ML architecture for this task. They took human mobility patterns from an entire city and used them to create an ML model that is both accurate and efficient. This new model has much fewer parameters than previous ones (only 2 million compared to 202 million) and takes less time to train. It’s also more accurate, with a success rate of 82.54%. This means that small devices can now be used for next location prediction, making it easier to implement this technology in real-world applications.
