Abstract

Given a collection of trajectories of moving objects with different types (e.g., pumas, deers, vultures, etc.), we introduce the problem of discovering collocation episodes in them (e.g., if a puma is moving near a deer, then a vulture is also going to move close to the same deer with high probability within the next 3 minutes). Collocation episodes catch the inter-movement regularities among different types of objects. We formally define the problem of mining collocation episodes and propose two scaleable algorithms for its efficient solution. We empirically evaluate the performance of the proposed methods using synthetically generated data that emulate real-world object movements.
