• Authors: Fumiko Ogushi, Chandreyee Roy, and Kimmo Kaski
• Abstract summary: This study uses the call detail records (CDRs) to analyze the social communication and mobility patterns of people. Results show that in the urban areas people have high calling activity but low mobility, while in the rural areas they show the opposite behaviour. Age and gender of individuals have also been observed to play a role in the seasonal patterns differently in urban and rural areas.

• Abstract: Human mobility and other social activity patterns influence various aspects of society such as urban planning, traffic predictions, crisis resilience, and epidemic prevention. The behaviour of individuals, like their communication frequencies and movements, are shaped by societal and socio-economic factors. In addition, the differences in the geolocation of people as well as their gender and age cast effects on their activity patterns. In this study we focus on investigating these patterns by using mobile phone data, specifically the call detail records (CDRs), to analyze the social communication and mobility patterns of people. This dataset can provide us insight into the individual and population-level behaviours in rural and urban environments on a daily, weekly and seasonal basis. The results of our analyses show that in the urban areas people have high calling activity but low mobility, while in the rural areas they show the opposite behaviour, i.e. low calling activity combined with high mobility. Overall, there is a decreasing trend in people's mobility through the year even though their calling activity remained consistent except for the holidays during which time the communication frequency drops markedly. We have also observed that there are significant differences in the mobility between the work days and free days. Finally, the age and gender of individuals have also been observed to play a role in the seasonal patterns differently in urban and rural areas.

• Mobility Segregation Dynamics and Residual Isolation During Pandemic Interventions [0.0]
  We study the reorganisation of mobility segregation networks due to external shocks during pandemics. We build on anonymised and privacy-preserved mobility data in four cities: Bogota, Jakarta, London, and New York. We find that the first lockdowns induced considerable increases in mobility segregation in each city, while loosening mobility restrictions did not necessarily diminished isolation between different socioeconomic groups.

  It is necessary to synthesize such interactions between virtual characters and their surroundings. We present a system that uses adversarial imitation learning and reinforcement learning to train physically-simulated characters. Our approach takes physics-based character motion generation a step closer to broad applicability.

  Digitally acquired data can accurately capture complex human activity, but it lacks the interpretability of demographic data. We use a privacy-enhanced dataset of mobility visitation patterns of 1.2 million people to 1.1 million places in 11 metro areas in the U.S. We find lifestyles can be automatically decomposed into only 12 latent interpretable activity behaviors on how people combine shopping, eating, working, or using their free time.

  We use a combination of computational, statistical, and information-theoretical approaches to investigate the existence of systematic discrepancies in the mobility diversity of men and women. Our results indicate the presence of general discrepancies in the urban mobility diversities related to the gender and socioeconomic characteristics of the individuals. This paper sheds new light on the possible origins of gender-level human mobility inequalities.

  We employ survey data together with social media data to analyse personality, moral values, but also cultural elements of the young unemployed population in Italy. Our findings show that there are small but significant differences in personality and moral values, with the unemployed males to be less agreeable. Unemployed have a more collectivist point of view, valuing more in-group loyalty, authority, and purity foundations.
