Abstract
With the rise of social networks, more and more users share their location on social networks. This gives us a new perspective on the study of user movement patterns. In this paper, we solve the trajectory re-identification task by identifying human movement patterns and then linking unknown trajectories to the user who generated them. Existing solutions generally focus on the location point and the location point information, or a single trajectory, and few studies pay attention to the information between the trajectory and the trajectory. For this reason, in this paper, we propose a new model based on a contrastive distillation network, which uses a contrastive distillation model and attention mechanisms to capture latent semantic information for trajectory sequences and focuses on common key information between pairs of trajectories. Combined with the trajectory library composed of historical trajectories, it not only reduces the number of candidate trajectories but also improves the accuracy of trajectory re-identification. Our extensive experiments on three real-world location-based social network (LBSN) datasets show that our method outperforms existing methods.
